Beschreibung

“A great book about a small railway with a lot of history that has managed to adapt . . . and become a tourist attraction without losing its charm.” —Unos Cuantos Trenes (A Few Trains) 
 
Built to carry minerals from mines in the Rheidol valley, the 2ft gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway found its niche carrying tourists to the tourist attraction at Devil’s Bridge, 12 miles inland from the Cardigan coast resort of Aberystwyth. Taken over by the Cambrian Railways and then the Great Western Railway, it became the last steam railway operated by British Rail. In 1989 it became the first part of the national network to be privatized.  
 
Now under the control of a charitable trust it is undergoing a revival that will see it become one of the leading tourist attractions in Mid-Wales. 
 
“The book is comprehensively illustrated with photographs spanning the entire history of the line, plus maps, diagrams and tabulated information. An excellent publication, well worth its cover price, and thoroughly recommended.” —Ffestiniog Railway Society Magazine 
 
 
 
“A complete story of the line to date, an enjoyable read and a good pictorial record of this attractive railway. So a good way to spend some time in lock-down!” —Michael’s Model Railways

Liz Ryan

It was when she realised she was spending twelve hours a week and five thousand euro a year commuting to work that Liz Ryan began to question how great life in boom-time Ireland really was - and reached a decision the day an enraged biker hurled a helmet at her windscreen. So she quit her job, sold her house and moved to a remote hamlet in coastal Normandy. Thus begins her French adventure, in which she gets picked up by the police, discovers the mixed pleasures of French homeownership - flooded basements, grim neighbours, surreal phone companies, busybody mayors - and embraces the challenges of creating a new life in a new country. Liz hilariously charts her gradual immersion into village life, the setbacks and the joys, the local political intrigue, the Gallic shrug and that famous French bureaucracy - and paradoxical French attitudes to food, politics, sport, dating, and shopping on the grand scale. But like any expat, even as she revels in new pleasures she also experiences the tug-of-war between fresh fields and the place of one's birth, the craic, the humour and the warm embrace of lifelong friends.

Coming from a small town in the mountains in California where “traveling” meant driving three hours to the nearest shopping mall, Sarah grew up with an itch to see the world. At 26, she’s visited over 20 countries with no plans of slowing down. 
Even though she’s seen quite a few places, Sarah isn’t a professional traveler. What she hopes to share with others is that you don’t have to have some wonderful job as a travel blogger or be super wealthy to see the world. With a bit of planning, anyone can do it. 
When Sarah isn’t looking up flights to distant places or planning her next trip home to California for some much-missed Mexican food, she’s chilling at her home in Buenos Aires.

If you are thinking about getting a puppy or simply want to learn how to train your perfect dog in a happy, positive way, then keep reading. 
Many people make the mistake of training their puppies the wrong way, or even don’t make a conscious effort to train them at all. After some time, they get angry and blame their dog for bad behavior. Ironically, it’s the dog owners who are responsible for these problems in most cases. But there is a way to solve them by learning how to raise your puppy properly and in a positive way. 
It’s not your dog’s fault. If you treat the root causes of behavioral issues rather than the symptoms, you can teach your dog much faster without the use of punishment or stress.  
In this guide you will learn:Why “getting dominance” over your dog is a bad ideaWhy a dog’s natural pack instincts are the key to a happy relationshipWhy what your dog really needs may not be what you’re giving himHow to choose a dog who’s right for you and your familyTricks you didn’t even know a dog could learnThe real difference between discipline and punishmentHow “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of troubleHow dogs reflect the personality of their owner and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than wanna-be alphasThe importance of observing and understanding your dog’s body language and how to react appropriatelyHow to deal with common health problems and bad behavior 
Whether you have never trained a dog or are just switching over to positive training, this guide offers a proven method of easy, fun and effective training. 
Start enjoying a happy family life with your puppy. Scroll to the top of the page and select one of the “Buy” options.
