A surprise closure yet a reality.This adventure takes children on a playful journey and through story telling could support children who are already going through grief or a departure of a loved one.Subtly helping children find meaning through the memories they once had and replaying it as a remembrance to help in their own personal and meaningful stages of grief.The story addresses grief in a symbolic and playful way, just as some children may react themselves, which makes it a very effective tool that parents may also use as a reference or a talking point.Taking you on a journey to the world heritage site at the Jurassic coast in East Devon. Yet it's through the mindset of a child's imagination where there is a sense of reality when Ella, Leo and Big Bear all climb their cushions (steep cliffs) and jump into their cardboard box (small boat). The descriptive story writing takes you far into the sea and the delicate watercolour illustrations take you away to Ellas incredible journey. This story subtly references some stages of grief which some children may go through after the depart of a loved one.

Finally people are beginning to believe that there is a possibility of there being 'something out there'! I have attempted to reveal the fascinating, ethereal, magical expanse of our Universe and the possibility of extra-terrestrial life existing within it, other than ourselves. Up to now files on UFOs and alien craft/beings have been sealed, but we are now experiencing their extraordinary and rather thrilling contents. Several American Presidents have definitely seen alien craft in the sky; pilots have chased and been chased by UFOs; used weapons against them that have had no effect at all, in fact just bounced off. Pilots, astronauts, Presidents and ordinary people have experienced not only sightings, but have been abducted, losing hours in time, with only a vague memory of where they have been (some more explicit) and have found that some form of tiny capsule had been inserted under their skin. I have explored accounts of extraordinary Alien Phenomena from under the ice in Antarctica to the depths of our Oceans; the extra-terrestrial experiences of not only pilots but also astronauts.
The Hippie Trail, that long land route to India that was a rite of passage for so many western hippies and other young adventurers from the 1950s to 1979.Simon Sharpe was a young adventurer and travelled the route in the summer of 1974 on a small budget and solo. One year later he sat down to record his extraordinary travels before memory faded. He bring us his descriptive memories of the countries, cheap hotels, the food, the cultural divides, the local people and the western adventurers for whom this was a significant part of their youth experience. Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and on to India, Simon's travelogue is full of anecdotes and sharp observations of the people he met. Simon also includes stories of adventurers from his own family history in India and Afghanistan to create a fascinating refection on his own motives for travelling. He asks the awkward question; to what extent freedom-loving western youth, travelling through those Muslim countries may have inadvertently changed the politics of the region and helped bring in strictly observant Islamic governments?
