A brief history of what was happening in the Far East during WWII, and stories from those who were taken prisoner by the Japanese as well as their families who were waiting for news of them. While the war in Europe ended in May 1945, it was still being fought in the Far East until Japan surrendered in August 1945. 

The men, women and children held prisoner were always considered the "Forgotten" prisoners of war.

Follow Jacqueline as she and her aunt, Jenni, trek 136 miles over 15 days along the Wye Valley Way in Wales. Only briefly veering into England over the border, the path follows the River Wye from Chepstow in the south up to the source of the river at Plynlimon in Snowdonia.

First published when we made Peg Looms and regularly exhibited at national Craft Fairs, the book was the first to give detailed instructions on how to use a Peg Loom plus lots of illustrations of a range of projects to weave.

It assumes that you are not an expert, so it goes from the basic principles to suggest different materials you can use to produce a piece of weaving that can be functional or just a beautiful piece of textile art. Ideal whatever your age.

This is a companion book to the Peg Loom Weaving title, set out in a similar way. It leads you through from the basic principles of how wet felting works and the process to make a final piece of felted fabric.

No special equipment is need, just a worktop, some plastic sheet or bubble-wrap and hot soapy water. The power source is basically "your elbow"! From small pieces to making larger items such as jackets, it is a fascinating process whatever level of experience you have.

The original title was published in 2002 by Butterworth Heinemann and is still available though print-on-demand.

This version is specifically aimed at small firms with little or no in-house expertise in managing risks, and is based on a Check List approach to act as a reminder of the things to look out for in your own business. The cover picture shows window cleaners abseiling down the front of the Blue Tower in Malta - presumably having done their own risk assessment!
