Revolutionary Swinging London Era The Swinging Sixties in London was a vibrant and transformative cultural era that left an indelible mark on film, music, fashion, and art. This revolutionary period, spanning roughly from the mid-1960s to early 1970s, was characterized by an explosion of creativity, social change, and youth-driven rebellion. In film, iconic works like "A Hard Day's Night" captured the spirit of the era with the rise of the Beatles and their influence on pop culture. The films of directors like Richard Lester showcased the energetic and irreverent attitudes of the youth. Music played a pivotal role as well, with the British Invasion bands like the Rolling Stones and The Who becoming global sensations. Fashion became a powerful vehicle for self-expression, as designers like Mary Quant introduced bold, mod-inspired clothing that defied tradition. The miniskirt became a symbol of female empowerment, while men embraced tailored suits with flamboyant twists. This spirit of innovation extended to art too, with the emergence of pop art led by figures like David Hockney and Peter Blake, who celebrated consumer culture and mass media through their work. 'A Very British Revolution', explores in essence the Swinging Sixties in London was a kaleidoscopic burst of color, sound, and rebellion. It ushered ina new era of youth culture that continues to inspire and influence artistic expression to this day.

90 SECONDS TO MIDNIGHTOn January 23rd 2023 'The Doomsday Clock' used by atomic Scientists to evaluate how far our world is from nuclear destruction was moved forwards to '90 seconds to midnight' which indicates that mankind has again entered a time period of unprecedented danger.In the 1970's NASA's Pioneer satellites discovered a new planetary body in the far regions of our solar system using its infrared equipment. NASA growing concerned about how this planet would affect our world sent out another infrared satellite named IRAS in 1983 to scan the universe in infrared. Its 10 month mission re-discovered the planetary body called Planet 10 or X in Roman numerals. This Planet is already having a disastrous effect on the earth due to its huge size and gravitational pull but can only be seen by cryogenically cooled equipment.Not only is the Earth under threat from this intruder Planet, NASA is tracking a number of near earth objects, the highest threat coming from the asteroid Apophis which will either skim past the earth on Friday 13th April 2029 or crash into us creating a series of near extinction events.Realising that people would need an explanation on why severe earth changes were happening The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was formed in 1988 to provide a false but believable narrative and gain the time needed for alternative power structures to take shape. These are; The Bilderburg Group, The World Economic Forum, The United Nations and the World Health Organisation who are now positioning themselves to become a future government-in waiting dominating our own democratically elected national governments when these catastrophic events play out.This world government will be controlled by a man the bible calls the Antichrist who will run a new financial system based on Central Bank Digital Currencies. This system will go global by 2030 and will replace all cash and card transactions. No-one will be able to buy or sell without his evil mark. Just before this system in fully operational Christian believers will be caught up to meet Christ in the air in an event called 'The Rapture' just before a terrible time on earth lasting seven years called ' The Great Tribulation' begins.This Book will also look at how the Vaccine injured are being completely ignored.

Without doubt, our country has some of the most beautiful scenery and best places to visit in Europe. The Yorkshire Dales and moors, Wales, and the stunningly beautiful Scotland amongst them. More and more people are also beginning to realise that one of the best ways to see this beauty is by travelling in a motorhome. There is nothing better than to find a nice spot on Dartmoor and camp up for a few days, with a stream running nearby, the country sounds of sheep, wild deer and cattle grazing feet away, or to book at one of the many hundreds of pretty resorts around the country. All from a self-contained home on wheels, with all facilities onboard! The only problem historically is that a lot of the local councils didn't want us camping on their patch. Fortunately the tide is turning; with more people buying motorhomes now, more councils are accommodating us. With solar panels and all facilities onboard, why pay hundreds of pounds to sit on a patch of grass when we can park right by the beach? There are many pleasant and attractive places around the country; unlike France they don't all have welcoming Aires, but they are slowly coming around to it.My book covers just a few of these little gems around the country from Cornwall to Kent, from Kent up to Hadrian's Wall. From Pembrokeshire in Wales to the Lake District... seek and explore!

The adventure is set in South Western France in the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo. It begins in the small town of La Garenne home to the Ducs of Garenne and their ancestors for more than six hundred years. La Garenne was a place where nothing much ever happened. Even the French Revolution had passed by the town. That is until the suspicious death of a national hero, a man from the town known to all and the subsequent death of his mentor the Duc de Garenne. There was also the unexplained disappearance of a famous hunting dog, Hugo Hound once owned by both of these men.Then the nation was gripped by the news that a patrol of gendarmes from La Garenne had "vanished off the face of the earth" at least according to their local commandant. A young officer was dispatched from Paris to investigate and discovered that all these events had a common link, the dog, Hugo Hound. To his bewilderment, his orders are changed by the Head of Gendarmerie in Paris. He must now also find Hugo Hound. He finds himself protecting not only Hugo but Hugo's companions including talking bears and lions!He also meets once again Catherine, whom he had helped rescue from the chaotic aftermath of Waterloo. She and her cousin are far more involved with his task than he could ever have imagined. On a voyage across France to the safety of the Pyrenees, once home to these special beings, he and his charges are pursued by evil in the form of a Werewolf, once the leader of the 'lost patrol' and the renegade son of the late Duc de Garenne, brother to Catherine.

The book is a synopsis of 31 proverbs, the writers of the proverbs being more than one individual. But the greater part written by King Solomon, King David's son and heir, known for his wisdom, his wealth and his wide experience of life at that time. Many of the 'sayings' contained in the proverbs are applicable to all generations, irrespective of the 'so called progress or change' as they relate to everyday life. Some sayings have proved to be 'lasting adages. Even to this present day, being used and quoted by the ordinary person as well as the more educated individual. Activities and experiences in modern day living are common to most individuals, paios and groups, and the proverbs are written to instruct, guide, encourage, warn etc, individuals, particularly family children and the wider circle of the dangers that lurk within social activities to the unaware; activities that can bring about regret, sorrow, misery, trouble and even fatality. Wise counsel is necessary to enable avoidance of such and give opportunity to establish character, and social acceptance, with responsible behaviour. Reverence toward God and His laws are to the fore and encouraged, even rewarded, as part of life's progress and success.Much is to be gained from an in depth knowledge of the book of proverbs and the keeping of its advice.

This is an unflinching portrayal of life in a coastal Yorkshire village three hundred years ago with its folk lore, old farming methods, superstitions and traditional remedies.Mary Jordan shares her damp, chalkstone cottage in Filey Bay with five growing boys and an unsympathetic husband. William Jordan is a farmer and customs officer. In league with the local smugglers, all is well until a keen young excise officer arrives. Mary's boys don't help matters. Young William bullies and plays cruel tricks on his brothers, enjoys all manner of sports and, mentored by his uncle, learns to shoot... which ends in disaster. Francis falls for a woman eight years his senior. He suffers all the confusion of adolescence, not helped by an increasing obsession with his uncle's puritanical teachings. And then there's 'poor John' who is retarded. He's unable to work like the others, but finds simple pleasures in nursing a newborn piglet and learning the ways of shepherding. He becomes Mary's one consolation as she comes to terms with a crucial death in the village - that of their only midwife and healer.

Can we transcend worry? How do we find contentment? Is it possible to stand firm when the world around us seems so uncertain? Can we still find hope in God's written word? Transcending Worry takes us on a journey of reflection through some verses from the book of Philippians 4 1-13. Familiar and much loved these wonderful verses written by St Paul to the Church in Philippi give us a lot to think and contemplate: "Do not be anxious about anything...... I have learnt to be content in all circumstances..... stand firm ........". How can these verses help us today? John Bloor, a licensed Reader and preacher in the Church of England, a Christian for over 50 years, a confessed worrier, writes having experienced a "light bulb" moment whilst listening to a talk in church on these particular verses. Inspired and written in a time of great anxiety and worry as Coronavirus swept throughout the world. John very much believed he was called by God to write and share these insights and thoughts with others. Taking several years to complete, consideration is given through personal stories, painful times and life experiences. We are transported to Paris; The Louvre Gallery - a Rembrandt painting, the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Church to help us contemplate and provide thought provoking questions. The book includes contributions, stories and life experiences from Saju Muthalaly, Bishop of Loughborough and other friends and church family members that very much informed John's thinking and writing. We are called to serve our faithful and loving God. What does this mean? A closer look at the Rembrandt painting, The Supper at Emmaus, we are challenged to think and reflect on what we might bring to the table.
