Описание:

Trips into My Mind's Eye will take the reader on a journey of discovery using visual art/images and the written word to give the reader an insight into my world. We will be visiting my watercolour paintings, my football team (Norwich City FC), my village (Shouldham), Roman Britain, Boudica Queen of the Norfolk Iceni tribe, Ancient Civilisations, Skiathos a Greek paradise Island and finally marvel at the wonderful wildlife that can be found in the beautiful English County of Norfolk. I believe that the use of visual art/images helps to tell any story more effectively than just words. I hope that the images that I have used will inspire the reader to come on that journey of discovery with me. After all, a message can be sent and received either as words or images. Our mind then makes a story from the images we see with our eyes. We all need to make sense of things we encounter. I believe that a picture saves a thousand words and that many people will, like me, prefer to view images as well as words. I hope you will enjoy our journey together. So if you are ready let's begin our adventure into my mind's eye.

Where do we come from? In this my 14^th book that I have had published we will be travelling back in time to discover the answer to that often asked question "where do we come from". This is a big question and in this book I will be looking at the country of my birth England and its history since time began to start my journey of discovery to find my roots and answer the question. Where do I come from? In one of my other books I wrote about "Norfolk the County of My Birth" and by doing this it inspired me to find out more about the country of my birth. In England we have the advantage of not just being English but also along with our friends from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland we also belong to the wider family of Great Britain and the Commonwealth beyond. When I started to research the history of Great Britain before producing a draft of this book it soon became apparent to me that I would need to spend a lot of time reading and researching this vast topic area before I started to write this book. I found out that a TV programme called "Time Team" which was recorded over a twenty year period was being repeated on afternoon TV. As I had enjoyed this archeologically based factual programme, in the past I decided to watch it. The programme is introduced by Tony Robinson and featuring archaeologist Mick Ashley and Phil Harding and many other skilled contributors I decided to spend some time watching the re-runs. So using reference books, Internet, watching Time Team and making copious notes I began to get a deeper understanding of my past and the events and people that have shaped who I am today. Having done this what follows is my attempt at recording key milestones in our history from a personal perspective. So let's start our journey together by looking at the arrival of humans on the landmass we now call the Great Britain. We will look at some of the aspects of Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age Britain before moving into the modern era. I will be taking what is just my personal view of events during Roman Britain, Anglo-Saxon Britain, Norman Britain, Tudor and Stuart Britain before moving onto the Georgian, Victorian era and the Edwardian era. We will conclude our journey through the history of the island of my birth together by looking at aspects of the First and Second World Wars before finishing by coming right up to date.

Zakynthos is the third largest of the Ionian Islands and it covers an area of 410 km² (158 square miles). The coastline of the Island is roughly 123 km (76 miles) in length. Zakynthos is a very popular tourist destination. It has an international airport which is served by many charter flights from all over northern Europe. It is located 300 km west from the capital of Greece Athens and 9.5 marine miles from the Peloponnese mainland coast from where a regular ferry service comes and goes to and from the Island of Zakynthos. The book contains a large selection of images. You know what they say "a picture saves a thousand words".

Описание:

Alan was born in the city of Norwich in the county of Norfolk, England in 1949. When Alan was still a teenager he started painting whilst attending art classes in Norwich. In his mid-teens he had two paintings accepted for a National Art Exhibition held in London and other major UK cities. Alan rarely picked up a paint brush until he, his wife Susie and daughter Ginny (his other daughter Mandy is married and lives with her husband Adrian in Sheffield) moved out of the city of Norwich into the Norfolk countryside in 1993. They moved to a little West Norfolk village. The village was very peaceful and pretty. This helped inspire Alan to take up watercolour painting once again. In 2004 they moved to another small West Norfolk village near Downham Market where they still live today. In 2008 Alan had to retire due to ill health (bad knees) and whilst he still painted regularly he began to spend more and more time gardening. In 2013 his wife Susie suggested that he kept a gardening diary to record his adventures in the garden and capture the changing seasons, animals, birds and the successes and failures of being a gardener he encountered. By the following year Susie suggested that he should write a book from his diary and include illustrations of both the garden and his artwork. In 2014 Alan's first book was published called 'Retiring to the Garden - Year One'. This proved such a success that Alan decided to follow this up in 2015 with his second book called 'Retiring into a Rainbow'. Then in 2015 he published 'Retiring to Our Garden - Year Two'. At the same time in 2015 he re-issued his first two books this time in a "2nd Edition". His next planned publications are: 'Skiathos a Greek Island Paradise', 'Norfolk the County of my Birth', 'England the Country of my Birth', 'Flip-flops and Shades on Majorca - Ibiza - Thassos' and 'Mardle and a Troshin' in Norfolk'.
