Tod and Fiona visit Nepal for a third time, and meet up again with their friends who live in the small, isolated village of Salle, high up in the remote Everest Region of the country. Although this is the third book in the series, the reader does not have to have read the first two books in order to follow and enjoy the account and descriptions of this visit. It is an emotional and highly enjoyable trip, despite the presence of a massive spider and unspecified rodent in their room, and the couple catch up with Kalyani and her family, Molly, the village children, and Lucky the cockerel. This time Tod and Fiona also visit the tiny country of Bhutan, and climb up to the spectacularly beautiful Tiger's Nest Monastery, 10,000ft up in the Himalayas. Following a nerve jangling, rip roaring drive through part of India, they spend time in Darjeeling, and ride on the famous Darjeeling Himalayan Railway - the Toy Train. Then it's a twenty hour, non stop drive back through India, across Nepal, and up into the Himalayan mountains at night, driving through blazing forests, until they reach Kathmandu again. A fast moving, humorous read, recommended not only for the hardened, intrepid traveler, but for the armchair variety too.

During a childhood dominated by a sometimes violent father, whose unpredictable mood swings were fuelled by alcohol, Fiona Roberts took comfort in the knowledge that the Spirit World was watching. She knew it. She could see 'them'. Her first encounter with a spirit person came at the age of four, when a 'woman in black' appeared in front of her. This book will bring comfort to those who would like to believe that there is no death, and that they will one day be reunited with their loved ones, human or animal. "There has never been a time in my life when I did not know that there is a life after death, and indeed a life before life. I grew up knowing that - no one had to tell me. And I grew up knowing that it is possible for those who now live on in the Spirit World to contact us here in the material world. I cherish the contact that I have had throughout my life with 'the other side'." Fiona Roberts 'Voices' Memories from a Medium's Life' the second part of Fiona Roberts' memoires is now available. It contains anecdotes and stories; accounts of ghostly visitations; unusual readings; and explanations of some of the more common manifestations of clairvoyance and mediumship.

Fiona Roberts has been involved in the fascinating world of the Paranormal for over 30 years. In the 90s she ran an agency promoting the work of Mediums and Psychics on stage, TV and radio, and wrote (ghosted) the autobiography of one of the UK's leading Mediums of that time. Fiona has drawn on her extensive experience of psychic, spiritual and paranormal matters to write this collection of eerie, thought provoking, twist in the tale supernatural stories.

'A Beard In Nepal 2. Return to the Village' is the story of Fiona and Tod's second visit to the village of Salle, high in the Himalayas of Nepal. They returned to take presents and supplies to the villagers. The book is again full of humour as the couple from Liverpool trek with Kalyani (the village school headmistress) to a remote, hidden valley where her new husband's family live, braving again those incredibly high, dangerous roads through the mountains. This book gives us more detail about the villagers lives, and the lives of the wonderful, happy village children, who live so very differently from their Western counterparts. It also touches on the downside of life in Nepal today; the corruption, the destruction of the forests, lack of electricity, and lack of clean water. 'A Beard In Nepal 2' tells us about Fiona and Tod's encounter with black, poisonous spiders; how they avoided having to eat a cockerel; a water buffalo that snores so loudly it has to sleep in its own specially built shelter; and once again the nightmare of travelling in a local bus through the remote tracks in the high Himalayas. The book also looks at developments in Kathmandu, such as the 'removal' of 10,000 street dogs in the last few months.
