'Policing is like this everywhere but not everywhere is Scilly'
Meet Sergeant Colin Taylor, he has been a valuable member of the
police force for over 20 years, 5 of which have been spent policing
the 'quiet' Isles of Scilly, a group of islands off the
southwestern tip of the Cornish peninsula. Colin has made it his
purpose to keep the streets of Scilly free from drunk anchor
thieves, Balance Board riders and other culprits, mostly drunken,
intent on breaking the law. This book is the first hand account of
how he did it. Coupled with his increasingly popular 'Isle of
Scilly Police Force' Facebook page, this book charts the day to day
trials and tribulations of a small-island police officer, told in a
perfectly humorous and affectionate way. This book is a fantastic
read and Colin's antics are soon to be the feautre of a major ITV
TV series.
The story of one man's search for a life long remembered whose
search touches the lives of so many, directly and indirectly, the
inter-connectedness of us all. Marianne is a series of vignettes of
life in one day, stories that bleed together with no distinction as
the reader tracks each tale through feats of memory. This is a
search for a life once lived, a life that has been and a life that
could be that life less ordinary.

waste paper basket.
Yet another collection of poetry from someone who should know
better. Remember a poem a day keeps alzheimers away. 40 new poems
from 2013 that didn't find their way into the bin. Maybe they
should? Fifty years old and still scribbling
All of the poems contained in this slim volume were written during
the single month of October. It was the idea of the project to
write one poem on each day of the month and as the day ended to
work no longer on that piece so each one remains as it was finished
at midnight on that day. There may be a theme of darkness present,
events unfolding at night that is due to the fact I work at night.
It was not intentional. Some works I remain unhappy with and others
work as intended but they will always remain as they are and I
offer no apologies for any missing punctuation, if the time had
gone the time had gone and they must live as they stand. It was not
my intention to comment on events that occurred on that specific
day either in the now or from the past but merely to write the
thoughts that came to mind. Sometimes ideas for other poems popped
into my thoughts as I wrote but for reasons of this work they had
to be left, some were remembered during the month and have found
their way in the others I hope will one day return to me to be
written down. I present this work as it is and make no apologies
should anyone find it unreadable or beyond comprehension for after
all, it is a slim work but it is mine own.
In 2004 my family and I packed up our lives in England and headed
across the channel to start all over again in Normandy, France. The
Pastis Adventures tells the tale of how we integrated ourselves
into a rural community in Normandy and highlights the laughs,
adventures, frustrations and the good friends we encountered along
the way. Helpful hints, comic scenarios and at timles the plain
daft but hand on heart it is all true. Thank you Pastis, you will
be the ruin of me.
