Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Eighteen short breaks around the UK for sports widows to enjoy - either travelling alone or with a friend. Each trip averages two nights away, often staying in unusual places like an avant-garde aparthotel in a sustainable village near Cambridge, and in the grounds of a Benedictine Abbey in Herefordshire. Every journey is special in that readers are directed to places not always mentioned elsewhere. Examples include a village evacuated in 1943, a perfectly imperfect interiors store near Ross-on-Wye, and a stunningly beautiful old cloth hall that was saved from demolition by just one vote. Each chapter has a recommended book linked to the destination, and a colour illustration drawn by a local and/or a well-known illustrator. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Danter, India (illustrator). Nelson is a very lucky little boy. Not only is he off to the fun fair, but it's his auntie's fun fair! He can't wait to see Auntie Claire and her family, as well as his friend Cy - and to go on all of his favourite rides. Plus he gets to stay in Auntie Claire's caravan, which much more exciting than a house. But not everything quite goes to plan, and soon Nelson discovers he's still a bit too little to do everything he wants to do. Luckily, he'll soon see that even though he's still small, he can have tons of fun - and that actually helping out can be as much fun as playing at pirates, or Martians, or firemen.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Jack Beresford was the first British Olympian to win medals of any colour in five consecutive Olympic Games. His record of 3 Gold and 2 silver medals at the 5 Olympic Games held between 1920 and 1936 remained until Sir Steve Redgrave won gold at the 2000 Sydney Games. Historically, men have had two great chances to prove their mettle; in battle and in sport. While many are aware that Jack Beresford was one of Britain's greatest oarsmen, this affectionate but unsentimental tribute by his son, John, reveals what few know, that Beresford served his country with distinction in war as well as in peace, and both with a modesty that is usually indicative of true merit. It is commonly said, show me the boy and I'll show you the man, and this work reveals that Jack the schoolboy, the soldier and the sportsman was driven by the same strict principals of duty and hard work throughout his life. This is, says John, the story that his Father never wrote. It is also a story with a delicious (if vicious) irony; the German bullet that wounded 19-year-old 2nd Lieutenant Beresford in 1918 led to him abandoning rugby and taking up rowing. Eighteen years later, the German favourites to win the Olympic Double Sculls paid the price of Jack's change of sport as, in the final's last 100 metres, Dick Southwood and Jack Beresford rowed them to a standstill to win Olympic Gold.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Fire Lily is a reflection of sixty years of life, with twenty years in business and twenty years as an ordained priest. Much of this experience has been in leadership roles, with all the trials and tribulations that occur alongside such pastoral duties, not to mention a thirty-five year marriage and a joint lifetime of faith in God. The Fire Lily tackles the nature of sharing one's mind with Jesus, how we can bring ourselves closer to God through sacrificial servanthood, and the true nature of loving unconditionally, without judgement or exclusions. Martin Thrower takes a compassionate look at the faults in the modern institutional Church and how it can fail both its members and its clergy in those times that matter the most. It is not about the ideal or model of the perfect Christian life, though there is of course, nothing wrong with striving towards a goal. Instead, it is as much as possible about reality, and how faith really works in times of stress. Still recovering from his own ordeals, Martin's story shows that even through breakdown and burnout, a faith in God can see you through to the other side. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. How do you choose a care home for a relative or friend? The care home may look perfect in the brochure, but is that a true reflection of what it's like to live there? Can the manager's claims be trusted? Written by an insider who's worked in care for sixteen years, this book will show you how to tell if all is really as it seems. Are the home's residents looked upon as people, or just as money generators? Will your mum be allowed something to drink in the evening, or will she be left thirsty just so that she won't need the lavatory in the night? This is a book for anyone with a relative or friend in residential care. It's also a book for current and future residents and the carers who look after them. 'Behind those care home doors' will show you what to really look for in a care home and how to check the standards of care provided and what to do if things go wrong. The author describes her front line experiences of abusive behaviours and harrowing standards of care, often from senior staff. She questions why carers who have the most contact with patients are frequently ignored when they raise concerns. Typical care home fees are equal to a staying in a good hotel with a private nurse and yet many homes are cutting staff to inappropriate levels. The author describes working in a care home with fees in excess of 900 per week and a menu promising smoked mackerel pate, homemade crusty bread and salad while the staff were obliged to serve muffin and chips, fish fingers and spaghetti hoops, out of date food, and mean portions. If you're contemplating working in a care home 'Behind those care home doors' will give you an insight and help you to decide whether care is the right career for you physically and emotionally. This book would also make valuable reading for care home managers and owners who may be finding the day to day pressures within their organisation are leading to decisions they know to be wrong. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Until 2010, Lindy Jones was a lively, extroverted teacher who had been Head of English in two comprehensive schools: one in in North London and the other in Hertfordshire. She had a loud raucous laugh and loved nothing better than a few glasses of wine and a good night out with her friends. That is until the summer of 2010 when she first noticed that she was slurring her speech. Somewhat of a hypochondriac, she became extremely worried by this strange symptom and once school broke up for the summer she embarked on a series of appointments with medical experts until, finally, a neurologist gave her the shocking news: motor neurone disease a rare, degenerative, incurable illness that ends in death, usually within five years. The account of her illness begins in October 2011 but flashes back to the summer of her diagnosis and latterly to her career in teaching and early life. Lindy found that writing about her illness helped with the despair she felt, and continues to feel, about having a terminal illness which robs you of the ability to talk, eat and move. Always someone who could make fun of her own failings, Lindy discovers that she is still able to see the humour in her situation at the same time as acknowledging the emotional pain as her body deteriorates. The Voice in My Head is Perfect is a brutally honest account about the particular cruelty of this neurological illness as well as being a celebration of a life well-lived. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
