Who hasnt woken up on their first morning in their new country, turned to their partner and said 'What the hell are we doing here'..?! Well...me.

Ken Roberts had a tough time growing up in a small town in Wales during the 50s but he survived everything that life threw at him and records it here. Although too young to fight in either war, his passion for the First World War led to his poetry writing, many of his poems giving expression to a soldier's thoughts on the death and destruction in the trenches. His whimsical, and often philosophical, take on the events around him make fascinating reading.

It is not an inconvenience to be inexplicably confronted with a sharp metallic click, not to the unobservant or to anyone experiencing it for the first time, not perhaps to somebody with less hearing ability. But in a highly-trained and acutely observant person such as Professor Harding, it was an annoyance, an unexpected phenomena, and having been repeated on several occasions, at various points of the compass, during his much loved .....

I am nobody important, but I was very close to, and loved very much, a lady who was. A lady with a great talent, who has often been referred to as the best female vocalist that Great Britain has ever produced. A lady who was so kind, with true feeling for all mankind. She was so genuine and hated all injustice. She had both the voice, and the face of an angel. I am talking about my aunt, the late Anne Shelton OBE. For many years I have been asked if there was a book in .....
