"This book is highly recommended" - @therailwaymagazine
Great review for Jeff Nicholls and STEAMING THROUGH WOLSZTYN in the recent issue of The Railway Magazine.
"Over many visits in nearly 20 years, the author gets to drive a wide variety of steam locos and visit multiple sheds. Written in easy to read style, not full of railway jargon or overly technical descriptions... this book is highly recommended"

Poet Daphne Denley reads Tom Long's Post, which features in landscape inspired HOME GROUND.
Tom Long's Post stands at the meeting point of six roads high up on Minchinhampton Common near Stroud and Cirencester in Gloucestershire. It is thought to be connected to the highwayman Tom Long.
HOME GROUND is an original collection of short stories and poetry, full of the mysterious and the gothic, myths and memoir, this is a captivating collection inspired by the magic within a landscape the author knows well.
This live recording is taken from our recent open mic event with @radiocirencester and you can listen to the whole event for free on the Cirencester Radio podcast.

When Ben Pering sets out to walk from South Devon to the North Devon coast, crossing from the tors of Dartmoor into idyllic valleys and the windswept heights of Exmoor, he is dreaming of finding freedom in the landscapes of his youth.
ONE MOOR TIME is his uplifting and captivating story of mishaps, nature and self-discovery - as a four day hike along the Two Moors Way becomes the beginning of a 15 year relationship with the uplands of Devon
