Living a slightly 'unconventional childhood' whilst dreaming of flight, a boyish ambition to fly is realised. The stories are happy, sad, surprising and exciting just as life is. Life can be stranger than fiction and coincidence or chance reigns supreme. It covers a life time of flight from childhood to middle age. Building model aircraft as a child to gaining a pilot's licence and flying home built aircraft. It later touches on working for an airline as a steward and motorcycling from Cornwall to Heathrow. A short romantic thread completes the strange spectrum of life.

Edwards discusses spiritual gifts from a biblical perspective, and guides us in the discovery of our particular spiritual gifts through step-by-step exercises and challenging self-evaluation. This book is particularly useful for those leading workshops on spiritual gifts and encouraging lay persons to discover the talents they have been given to carry out ministry in the parish.

Covering a wide variety of plays from 1550-1600, including Shakespeare's second tetralogy, this book explores moral, historical, and comic plays as contributions to Elizabethan debates on Anglo-foreign relations in England. The economic, social, religious, and political issues that arose from inter-British contact and Continental immigration into England are reinvented and rehearsed on the public stage. Kermode uncovers two broad 'alien stages' in the drama: distinctive but overlapping processes by which the alien was used to posit ideas and ideals of Englishness. Many studies of English national identity pit Englishness against the alien 'other' so that the native self and the alien settle into antithetical positions. In contrast, Aliens and Englishness reads a body of plays that represent Englishness as a state of ideological, invented superiority - paradoxically stable in its constant changeability, and brought into being by incorporating and eventually accepting, and even celebrating, rather than rejecting the alien.
