Just 7 hours 58 minutes 53 seconds until BENFEST

I started on this website today, Monday, 3rd May, and I feel as though I am making great headway with it, too – and that is the Ben spirit – let’s not just live for today, but tomorrow as well. This website will be updated quite a bit in the next few days, so please have a look around. Why not join in and post something if you knew Ben?

Ben loved things like the Mexican wave and subtle comedy like slap stick. He liked to live life to its full. He liked to have a drink and a smoke. Having Ben a friend was a great experience and by clicking ‘like’ below you are saying that you liked Ben as a friend too. This big fella is not with us any longer and that is what makes making this website harder and harder. Ben would have enjoyed the company of a friend, or 12, playing on Call of Duty World at War whilst having a can, or 3. Maybe a game of pool at good old Shipleys in Stoke – 20p a game, those were the days. But, you know what, our tag line says it all. Ben.. sorry you’re gone, but you’re livin on! We will soon be adding a Donate Button at some stage, but until then please keep checking back to see the updates. Believe me, there will be updates.

Anyone who has visited this website a lot will have noticed that the look of this website has changed and then changed back – this is to provide you guys and gals with a fresh look at this website. I will be visiting The Ben Howard Cancer Appeal warehouse soon along, with Wood Farm and you will find then that the website will take on a final new look so it coincides with the Charity even more.

Today, 5 Bagot goats have arrived at Wood Farm, Nr Tean/Great Gate/alton Towers. These goats are a rare breed and I’ve bought them from sarah in Lincolshire who is using the money to buy Tamworth pigs! This is something new for me, but i know Ben would be pleased. Nick Brandrick has told me that the big Billy Bagot goat jumped 6 foot high at 30 miles an hour trying to flee! Brilliant! So, theres 3 generations of Bagot goats now roaming free in the woods at Wood Farm1 Another reason to come to Benfest! We have 2 Billy goats and 3 Girly goats!
