This work takes us on a journey through strange, often moving prose; from the fantastical, to the prosaic, but always written with love.
Fifty-One, from south London writer Chris Barnham, is a mind-bending, time travel love triangle, set in past and future London, which has been compared with the classic ''The Time Traveler''s Wife.''. Jake Wesson is sent back from 2040 to Blitz-era London, to stop the assassination of Britain''s war leader, Winston Churchill. The assignment complete, the jump home goes wrong, stranding Jake in war-ravaged 1944. Stuck in the past, Jake tries to blend in. He clings to the one familiar face he can find, Amy Jenkins, a war widow whose life he saved. Drawn to each other by loneliness, thrown together amid the terror of war, Jake and Amy look to a future together. But Jake''s future cannot let him go. When his bosses finally find him in 1944, he faces a terrible choice: risk unravelling the modern world...or let Amy die. Fifty-One is a page-turning blend of science fiction thriller and grittily realistic historical romance.
Join Pearl, a simple drop of water from the sea, who embarks on an exciting journey to find the answers to the water cycle process.
After eleven years, Richard finally felt he possessed the necessary skills to put his first, and most adventurous trip yet, down on paper. This is his story. This is a book about a rather ordinary man who had an extraordinary adventure. At thirty-seven, Richard wanted excitement so embarked on a month-long, solo motorbike ride from England to Morocco and back. What he didn't realise was that he was about to get a little more excitement than he bargained for. He was shot at somewhere around the Morocco/Algeria border, he rode through a minefield, completely lost his way in the blistering fifty-degree heat of the desert, got blind drunk in Alicante and cartwheeled his bike down the road in Ibiza. He also experienced many wonderful characters, moments of pure joy, intense emotion and enlightenment that changed him as a human. This book is not only about his adventure, but also about Richard's progress as a person and his battles with his past.
This book is dedicated to the life, the artificial flies, the pioneering techniques in stillwater nymph fishing and ultimately the angling legacy of Dr Howard Alexander Bell (1888-1974) of Wrington, Somerset. Dr Bell regularly fished Blagdon Lake in the years following WW1 where he sought to devise better methods of catching reservoir trout. As a result of his enquiring and scientific mind Dr Bell did not follow the standard practice of the day of employing 'attractor' patterns but rather he studied the creatures that the fish were targeting and endeavoured to design artificial patterns which replicated them, and retrieved them in a manner which mimicked their progression through the water. He was probably the first angler to implement such an imitative approach to reservoirs and his Blagdon Buzzer is the forerunner of the multitude of buzzer artificials employed today. Includes 95 black & white illustrations and 5 maps
