Second paragraph of third chapter:Major James Arnold studied the tussocked wasteland of the central plateau. Beyond the bleak rolling plains of tundra, the snow-capped peak of Mount Ruapehu dominated the skyline, magnificent despite the flurries of ash on the window pane. It wasn't the first time Arnold had borrowed the office or stood in this spot, yet never had the situation been so grave.This was one of the finalists for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards at CoNZealand last year. It turns out to be the third in a series where New Zealand law enforcers find themselves entangled with the ancient ...
I'm returning once again to the photographic collection of Neil Reston, a former BR employee, whose historic railway photos were passed on to me in 2020 by his family. This posting concerns Southport where I've identified 6 photos which I think will have been taken in 1959 but stand to be corrected if anyone reading this blog thinks otherwise. Southport Whit- Monday Former West Lancs Railway Station There is no commentary with the photos other than the last 2 where I have included the wording in the photo album.

I know that many people, including me, are getting frustrated at the length of time enquiries into the work of Liverpool's regeneration department are taking at the moment. I get loads of emails almost every day telling me of new ... Continue reading →
In January 2020, Boris Johnson told the Commons that; There is no threat to the Erasmus scheme, and we will continue to participate in it. UK students will continue to be able to enjoy the benefits of exchanges with our European friends and partners, just as they will be able to continue to come to this country. So, true to form, we are leaving the programme. This decision has highlighted a lack of understanding of what it involved. Coverage of the programme in the press, and by politicians, from the Prime Minister down, refers only to Universities, which is just ...
The Independent reports that the UK s formally applying to join a major free trade area including Australia, Canada, Japan and Singapore known as the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Apparently, the Department for International Trade believe that joining the CPTPP would cut tariffs on food, drink and cars and improve access to the markets of its members, such as Mexico, New Zealand and Vietnam.
