The Starfield
name was originally conceived by Daphne Fielding and registered as the kennel
name for her Samoyeds when she started breeding them in 1985. We had kept
Samoyeds from the early 1960s but only as pets until circa 1978 when Daphne
decided to start showing our then current pet which led on to breeding. With
some success as the articles elsewhere on the site show. Sadly I have to
record that in March 2020 our last Samoyed, Barney left us at the age of 12
½. He is greatly missed and for the first time in 56 years we don’t have a
Samoyed around the house. It seems very strange but we do have our Parson
Russel Terrier Fern to keep us on our toes. I borrowed the Starfield
name for my business name when I was self-employed and used it amongst other
things, to market a computer program which I wrote to keep breeding records
and print the pedigrees an otherwise tedious job. The web site has been
created to share with everyone our interests in the Samoyed breed and in motorcycles
(mostly my hobby). Click on the tabs to the left for the rest of the Starfield story. My interest in bikes dates from my
early teens and I cannot remember a time when I did not have one or two
around the place even when we lived abroad; The site covers some of the bikes
I have owned over the last 25 years or so. Many of them were restored by me,
most of them were abused by me especially the older British bikes which were
regularly used in VMCC events, particularly those which had a green lane content.
I hasten to add that virtually all of the bikes pictured have long since
moved on; though at one time we were harbouring 14, all on the road. I am
trying to sample all the bikes that I would have liked to own in my youth so
I tended to buy, restore/fettle, enjoy for a while then sell to fund the next
project. Every now and then I find one I cannot bear to part with. Sometimes
I find one I cannot get rid of quickly enough. The greatest pleasure comes
from turning a rusting pile of bits into a usable, tidy machine. In December 2006 I decided to
extend the site to include some details and pictures of my other great love,
Scuba Diving. Ten years on and I have decided to give up diving for various
reasons though I am still a social member of my local dive club. In December
2016 I suddenly got an urge to take up model railways as a new hobby and I
started a blogg on this activity in January 2017.
This broadened into an interest in model steam locomotives and later into
other forms of garden railway so I started a new blogg
on this hobby in September 2019. Peter & Daphne Fielding |
