When Both Ends Meet
You don't need to be a "poetry buff" to appreciate the verses contained in this book. All that's required is experience of this varied and sometimes extraordinary life we all share. Humour, tragedy, nonsense, grief, joy - these are all things we encounter as we make our way through our time here on Earth. There are times when we feel the need to get together with a friend and chill out. It's good to know that others share the same frustrations, delights, depressions, triumphs, disasters - and, sometimes, we just want to have a laugh. So why not take a look inside? Join me as I browse through life's ins and outs and ups and downs - some of it serious, some of it, well... just plain ridiculous! When all's said and done, we're all in this together!
Splendour of the Somerset and Dorset Railway
Following the runaway successes of Alan Hammond’s first six books on the Somerset & Dorset Railway, this volume follows the same winning formula, with emphasis placed on the people who worked on the railway as much as on the locomotives and buildings themselves. With a foreword by well-known television personality Jools Holland, and lively text packed with anecdotes of railway pranks and fun, accidents, and strange happenings, this book is a must have for all S&D enthusiasts! There are accounts of working on the line, of train crews struggling to cross the Mendips, and most importantly, of people going about their daily lives. These stories are accompanied by some of the most fascinating photographs yet assembled, many of which capture scenes of the everyday life of the railway staff. Essential reading for all those keen to learn more about this famous line, and ideal for the many who wish to add this volume to their collection.
Ticket to Minehead
Apart from the range of photographs, featuring staff, passengers, local characters and even trains and stations, there are memories from 25 different people of the West Somerset line. These stories are mostly railway driven but the authors have added insights into the contributors lives, making this book a document of social history of the area.
The Art of Rest
Shortlisted for the British Psychological Society Book Award for Popular Science Much of value has been written about sleep, but rest is different; it is how we unwind, calm our minds and recharge our bodies. The Art of Rest draws on ground-breaking research Claudia Hammond collaborated on: ‘The Rest Test’, the largest global survey into rest ever undertaken, completed by 18,000 people across 135 different countries. The survey revealed how people get rest and how it is directly linked to your sense of wellbeing. Counting down through the top ten activities which people find most restful, Hammond explains why rest matters, examines the science behind the results to establish what really works and offers a roadmap for a new, more restful and balanced life.
The Sixties Boys
This is an enjoybale and lighthearted romp through some nostalgic memories of the 1960s, many of which will be familiar to the baby boomer generation.
The Sixties Boys on Tour
Following the success of Alan's semi-autobiographical Sixties Boys books, he has yet again come up with another gem with The Sixties Boys On Tour. Five time-worn OAPs trying to relive their youth is a recipe for hilarious escapades with old flames, adversaries, chaotic gigs and lots more, all told in Alan's inimitable racy style.
