The first time Daphne saw the Quinta, she knew that it would become very important in her life. It prompted her to leave her native Norfolk and to write this book, which is based partly on fact. Together with Colin, her husband of sixty years, she has restored the Quinta lovingly, and created a much admired garden.
A fortune teller in London told the young secretary that she would soon go East and work abroad. Many of her predictions came true...Daphne Jackson was born in Ambleside and her love of nature and her resilience remained strong throughout a turbulent life. Tough, independent yet vulnerable, she gives an intimate account of her life from childhood until she became a prisoner of war in 1942. About the Author Daphne Jackson worked as a secretary in Java until her marriage to Charles (Jack). Their happy life together was beset by difficulties but both came through the war and its aftermath with courage. Later in London she was involved in voluntary work and loved writing, especially plays; she said doing this in her head had kept her alive while imprisoned.
Summer 1967. The Swinging Sixties are at their height and Trengillion in Cornwall is much changed since the early 1950s. Charles, the last of Trengillion's prestigious family, has died and his former home, Penwynton House, is up for sale, causing much consternation amongst villagers as to the future of the rambling neglected building. Inside Bluebell Woods, the children of the village, wrapped in a world of pop stars, music and fashion, spend much of the school holidays playing in and around their makeshift den. At The Ringing Bells Inn, Landlord Frank Newton and his wife, Dorothy, concede it is time to think of retirement. Meanwhile, visitors come and go and life goes on as normal. Or does it? The strange behaviour of some visitors raises many questions. A subsequent supposed accident causes much gossip, and the evolving summer turns out to be anything but normal. Sea, Sun, Cads and Scallywags is the third in a series of seven books located in Trengillion on Cornwall's beautiful Lizard Peninsula.
December 1986 and Trengillion's residents are preparing to celebrate Christmas. On New Year's Eve, family and friends gather around a log fire at the Old Vicarage and tell ghostly tales of yesteryear. In mid-January the weather turns colder; snowflakes fall and the Cornish landscape is transformed into a white world; and with the coming of the snow, people and objects vanish into thin air, thus reviving old tales of mysterious happenings during blizzards in bygone days. The Old Vicarage is the fifth in a series of seven books set in Trengillion on the south coast of Cornwall. The series covers a period of sixty years.
1976; summer is fast approaching and the British Isles is on the verge of a severe drought. However, the hot, dry weather is welcome news for Cornwall's holiday trade, and Wild West enthusiast, Raymond Withers, and his long suffering wife, Gloria, who run Trengillion's Inn, anticipate a lucrative season. At the end of June, a stranger appears on the scene bearing the name Penwynton, causing consternation amongst locals, for the Penwynton name died out with the death of Charles ten years earlier. Consequently, the hundred year old mystery regarding Grenville Penwynton who vanished from the family home once again becomes a topical conversation. Meanwhile, the newly arrived students socialise with Trengillion's youngsters; Molly Smith makes elderflower champagne, and Ned, the village school's headmaster, reaches the grand age of fifty. Grave Allegations is the fourth in a series of seven books located in Trengillion on Cornwall's beautiful Lizard Peninsula. The series covers a period of sixty years.
1999. Twelve years have passed since Trengillion was covered in a deep blanket of snow and since then much has changed. Ned Stanley, the village school's headmaster, has retired and the inn is, yet again, under new ownership. Throughout Cornwall, businesses are making final preparations for the half a million extra tourists predicted to visit the county in August for the much hyped solar eclipse. An event which, unbeknown to the residents of the peaceful fishing village, will bring in its wake far more than a large influx of holiday makers. A Celestial Affair is the sixth book in a series of seven set in Cornwall on the beautiful Lizard Peninsula. The books cover a timespan of sixty years.
2012. Preparations are well underway for celebrations to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and in the City construction work is almost complete and ready for London to host the 2012 Olympic Games. In Cornwall, the inhabitants of Trengillion, having decided they would also like to celebrate the Queen's sixty year reign, begin to organise festivities which, unbeknown to them, will long be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Meanwhile, for retired headmaster Ned Stanley, talk of the Diamond Jubilee stirs many memories and emotions, for it is sixty years since he first set foot on Trengillion's soil. Trengillion's Jubilee Jamboree is the 7th and final book in the Cornish Mystery Series. The series covers village life over a period of sixty years, from 1952 to 2012.
Anna Greenwood had never been to Cornwall, yet she'd had a strong desire to visit the county for as long as she could remember. As her twenty-third birthday was drawing near, she decided to satisfy that yearning by booking a fortnight's holiday. After searching the internet, she finally chose to stay at The Old Tile House in Penzance, for no other reason than she was fascinated by an old picture of the building and in particular its three tall chimneys. Her holiday began well. The weather was kind, she made friends and enjoyed the sights, but then new guests arrived at The Old Tile House and things changed in a most peculiar way. The Old Tile House is a standalone novella of 43,000 words and an introduction to Pentrillick, a village situated on the south coast of Cornwall which will feature in a new series of mystery books.

A book of poems written by myself. Nothing more to describe.
Bamboo grows as an ornamental and/or privacy screen in the home yard. It grows as a crop on the farm. If you want to know how to control bamboo in your landscape, read Section 1. If you want to understand why to grow it as a farm crop and how to plant it, read Section 2. Section 3 has three conflicting observations: plant it and it will mature without your care; plant it and leave it alone and it will grow but will need reconstructive maintenance to be useful; plant it and care for it annually until it matures at Year Ten or Twelve. Which is correct? No work? Delayed work? Or lots of work?
