bookshop owner Bernard Black (Dylan Moran) - who loves books but

star at selling books, and Fran (Tamsin Greig), who owns the 'Nifty
Gifty' gift shop next door. Episodes are: 'Manny Come Home',
'Elephants and Hens', 'Moo-ma and Moo-pa', 'A Little Flutter', 'The
Travel Writer' and 'Party'.
WHAT MAKES US HAPPY? BILL BAILEY PLAYS CRAZY GOLF AND HUGS TREES TO
FIND OUT. 'A warm, funny read, full of personal anecdotes and love
letters to things that bring Bill Bailey pleasure' Sunday Mirror
'Very thoughtful and written in a delightfully humorous and
accessible way... Guaranteed to make [you] smile' Daily Express Is
there a knack to being happy? From paddle-boarding down the Thames
in a Santa hat, to wild swimming in a glacial river and cooking
sausages on a campfire, Bill revels in the exhilaration of the
outdoors, as well as the quieter pleasures of letter-writing, or of
simple reflection. In this beautiful and uplifting book, Bill
Bailey explores all this and more while delving into the nature of
happiness, all in his own, remarkable, way. Packed with wisdom and
humour, and with delightful illustrations by the comedian himself,
Bill Bailey aims for the heart of pure joy and contentment - and
how we can all achieve it.
A humorous and very personal guide written by Bill Bailey about his
favourite British birds, complete with drawings, notes and cartoons
by the comedian himself. 'When herons are spooked they have a habit
of vomiting as a defence. Half-digested pieces of eel and water
vole skull on your head is not a good look. Just so you know.' Bill
Bailey's wonderfully charming and informative book on the birds he
loves is now available as a handy, easy-to-carry pocket paperback.
Packed with the comedian's observations, illustrations and
sketches, this edition is perfect for birdwatching expeditions,
with new information for proper twitchers, including: · A 'British
Birds' checklist · A list of the best birdwatching sites in the UK
· Suggestions of bird spotting equipment · Information about
joining a birdwatching club Bailey takes us on a journey around the
British Isles, zooming in on those birds that enthuse him the most.
Whether it's what they eat, where they fly to or how they
communicate, these birds are always fascinating, and he introduces
us to their weird and wonderful ways in a manner that is always
entertaining. If you're a parent who'd like to appear a bit clever
when your child asks you the name of a bird; if you want to find a
new and healthy hobby that takes you outdoors; or whether, quite
simply, you want to understand a bit more about our natural
environment and have a laugh at the same time, this is the
companion book to have. Funny and insightful, and positively
crackling with energy, knowledge and wit, this beautiful paperback
will delight Bailey's fans, birds as well as those who fancy a bit
of armchair escapism. Alongside music and stand-up, one of Bailey's
favourite pastimes is birdwatching, which he has been doing since
he was a child in the West Country. His fondest memories are of
family outings with parents, grandparents and cousins, ticking the
birds off in his little Observer's Book of Birds. As he has said
about those formative years, 'birdwatching gave a purpose to the
day and a love of the natural world which has carried on into my
adult life'.

This is a new release of the original 1931 edition.
This is a new release of the original 1930 edition.
This book is about the past and the present. It is a tribute to the
ladies and gentlemen of West Georgia and their contributions to so
many. Some have passed on; some remain there; and others have moved
to other places. Yet all, including their children, their
children's children, their friends, and relatives, keep alive the
memories of the West Georgia never forgetting their families,
friends, and foods. Within these pages live the unsung heroes of
yesteryear. They have nurtured the sick and sustained the healthy
without, for the most part, recognition of their hard work, loving
care, and great legacy to all. Each recipe reflects a very special
person, and it is a rare treat to be able to visit these wonderful
people at work in their own kitchens. Just as important are those
who have preserved the past and submitted these very splendid
recipes to the book. Some of the recipes may be followed from the
eastern parts of Georgia to the west as the later generations moved
on. It is simply amazing how family recipes travel, not only across
Georgia, but across the nation far and wide. As may be noticed,
many of the recipes are quite old. Some have been updated by the
following generations. One will find such terms as "ice box," "wood
stove," "a hot oven," "a handful," and other expressions. I trust
that the modern mind can relate these terms to modern day
equivalents and equipment being thankful for our world of modern
conveniences.
The book gives a candid look into the lives of the workers in the
small, insular mill villages of West, Georgia. It focuses on Villa
Rica and Fullerville, and relates the conditions under which the
people lived and labored. These events are carefully woven into a
tapestry of the happenings in the other West Georgia area mill
towns, as well as the happenings occuring in the outside world.
Some well known historical events impacted life within the village,
and others passed almost without notice. The revelations describing
the health care, sanitation, working and living conditions, even in
modern times, may prove shocking to today's reader, who will
discover communities that time passed by. Author Perry "Bill"
Bailey is the son of mill workers. Both his parents labored in
various West Georgia mills throughout their lifetimes. He also
worked briefly in the mills until venturing out into the world to
pursue a career in radio broadcasting. The book is a work from his
heart describing his life in the Fullerville Mill Village with all
its joys, loves, and sorrows.
