Inspired and written about places I came to know while living in Cheshire for fifteen years or on my more recent trips back to visit the County. A walk around Chester Walls experiencing echoes of the past, exploring the leafy countryside, a cricket match in Prestbury and a night spent at the Edge in Alderley, finding seclusion amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life, a visit to Tatton one summer’s day, and poetic homages to the rich industrial history and natural beauty of Cheshire.

This is a travel book with a difference, this is a poetic journey across two continents, visiting as diverse places as the giant metropolises of Manhattan, Amsterdam and London, right down to the tiny traffic-free Channel Island of Sark!

These tales have been inspired and written about places I have visited in the evocative Red Rose County and the people I encountered along the way. Some of these are people I have met, others from the past brought to life once again through the power of words. This is a county I have come to know intimately over the decades, my first live poetry shows were right there in Lancashire and I actually lived within the Preston area when writing this collection. I always see my poetic tales as windows offering glimpses into a frozen moment of time, rather like seeds trapped within amber.

You obtain a crystal because it will be either in harmony with your personal energy vibration or else it possesses some essential qualities within its energy that will benefit you in some way. If your wish is to heal yourself (or indeed others) or simply want some crystal energized interior design pieces, in fact whatever your motivation for bringing crystals into your life, they will always be adding layers to the beauty of your life experience. This book includes a directory of crystals and so many practical ways to integrate crystals into your everyday lifestyle.

I sought to look beyond only the beauty of the lakes to explore the arts and heritage upon which the greatness of the county is built. Here we have the stories of people. Both tales of famous Cumbrians or those whose exploits focused the attention of the world on the region; and then sitting alongside are poems telling of ordinary people getting to have their story shared for the first time.
