Norman's blog is more than a reference work and covers all known Bellamy works. On the 12th October 1976 David Jackson started corresponding with Norman Boyd and swapped (that's 'traded' for non-UK people!) various pieces of information and photocopies (crude back then!). Norman left home and headed to college, got married, had kids etc. until one day he thought about what we had begun. He made contact with Paul Holder (http://www.frankbellamy.com) and discussed making a complete list of Frank Bellamy's works and the rest is history! |

We look forward to offering more of the stunning original artwork that was drawn by such eminent artists as Geoff Campion, Graham Coton, Cecil Doughty, Ron and Gerry Embleton, Oliver Frey, Don Lawrence, Angus McBride, Eric Parker, John Millar Watt, Fortunino Matania and Patrick Nicolle, amongst many others. |

|  | Boursot's Wine
If you enjoy wine, particularly French wine, then we highly recommend Boursot’s Wine Collection, situated in Ardres, 15 minutes south of Calais.
Englishman Guy Boursot runs this excellent wine shop and his selection is without doubt far superior to the wines found in the big supermarkets in and around Calais and Boulogne or indeed in the UK. Prices start from as little as £2 per bottle with most coming in at less than £10. Fantastic value! Remember that because of the high tax on wine in the UK the quality of wine in a £4.99 bottle is far superior if bought in France than in the UK. Guy also runs regular talks, gourmet dinners, vineyard tours and wine tastings. |
