  If you want to learn the secret practical strategies to living the minimalist life and decluttering your home your way, then keep listening.... 
  You don’t have to own only three T-shirts and live in a house with no furniture to be a minimalist. In fact, that is actually what is now being coined as “extreme minimalism”. Not to bash it though, that can certainly work for some people, but that isn’t how minimalism and decluttering have to be. In fact, minimalism is actually about a reassessment of your priorities so you can strip away the excess stuff that doesn’t provide any value to your life. 
  So, if you’re someone who has a life and house full of unnecessary “clutter” and you want to remove the things that don’t bring value without having to purge everything you own, then this audiobook will show you step-by-step how to achieve that.  
  Here is just a sample of what you will discover:
  
  The three questions to ask yourself to live a meaningful life 
  How to purposefully declutter your house starting now! 
  Why getting more money won’t always make you happier 
  Declutter by buying more things!

  In this hilarious and heart-warming collection of essays, the bestselling author reflects on a life spent exploring the British countryside on foot. 
   
  From the splendor of the Pennines and the Lake District to the drama of the Dorset coast; from the canals of the Midlands to wildest Scotland, this book is an attempt to explain a passion for walking and the delights it can bring. 
   
  Culled from Stuart Maconie’s monthly column in Country Walking, it’s full of the beautiful places, magical moments and wonderful characters he has encountered on his travels. It discusses such intrepid adventures as taking on the famous “Wainwright” fells of the Lake District, walking Hadrian’s Wall with colleague Mark Radcliffe, and why the most important things to carry in a rucksack are a transistor radio and a small bottle of red wine. 
   
  Praise for Stuart Maconie 
   
  “Maconie makes a jovial, self-deprecating narrator. Sharp and funny.” —The Guardian 
   
  “He is as funny as Bryson and as wise as Orwell.” —The Observer 
   
  “Stuart Maconie is the best thing to come out of Wigan since the A58 to Bolton.” —Peter Kay 
   
  “An heir to Alan Bennett . . . stirring and rather wonderful.” —The Sunday Times

  GWR Collett Castle Class

  The 'Castle' class 4-6-0 locomotives designed by Charles Collett and built at Swindon Works were the principal passenger locomotives of the Great Western Railway. The 4-cylinder locomotives were built in batches between 1923 and 1950, the later examples being constructed after nationalisation by British Railways. In total 171 engines of the class were built and they were originally to be seen at work all over the Great Western Railway network, and later working on the Western Region of British Railways. The highly successful class could be described as a GWR work in progress, because further development took place over almost all of the locomotives working lives. In addition to inspiring other locomotive designers the 'Castle' class engines were proved to be capable of outstanding performances, and when introduced were rightly described as being 'Britain's most powerful passenger locomotives'. Some of the 'Castles' survived in service for over 40 years, and individually clocked up just a little short of 2 million miles in traffic. In this book, Keith Langston provides a definitive chronological history of the iconic class together with archive photographic records of each GWR 'Castle' locomotive. Many of the 300 plus images are published for the first time. In addition background information on the origin of the names the engines carried, including details of the many name changes which took place, are also included. The extra anecdotal information adds a fascinating glimpse of social history. Collett CASTLE Class is a lavishly illustrated factual reference book which will delight steam railway enthusiasts in general and in particular those with a love of all things Great Western!
