    Highly acclaimed author and naturalist Richard Jefferies (1848-1887) made his living writing about the countryside in which he lived. 
    
    He made his name through his newspaper columns about the countryside and rural life, and achieved the peak of his fame as author of The Gamekeeper at Home and The Amateur Poacher.
    
    His love of nature and wildlife was nurtured by his father who taught him much about the life of the fields and woods.
    
    Jefferies' own remarkable powers of observation infuse his writing on the habits and habitat of his quarry, the techniques of fieldsports and the enjoyment of outdoor pursuits.
    
    These sporting articles are collected here for the first time in a new anthology.

Then, Glory Be!  They were both diagnosed with heart disease and realised that time is  short. They'd better spend it fishing . . .So they dusted off  their kits, chucked on their waders and ventured into the achingly  beautiful British countryside to fish, rediscover the joys of their  friendship and ruminate on some of life's most profound questions, such  as: How did we get so old? Where are all the fish? What are your  favourite pocket meats? What should we do if we find a corpse?Following the success of the BBC's Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing  series, this wonderful audiobook by two lifelong friends is a love  letter to the joys of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of  having a right daft laff with your mates.

    A swimming pool is the ultimate home improvement for billions of people around the world. However, it needn’t be as expensive as you might think, if you take the DIY approach. I know many families that have installed their own swimming pool 
    However, this manual is not about siting, digging out creating a pool. It is more about enhancing the pool after you have put in the effort of installing one. 
    I hope that it will interest those who would like to do something about enhancing and making the most of their domestic swimming pool. 
    I am also allowing you to use the articles in your own publication.
