BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Not just for F1 fans – “Lights Out Full Throttle”, a dialogue between Johnny Herbert and Damon Hill.  Some very entertaining bits and some serious bits too.  I particularly enjoyed the chapter on fitness.

Another of Christopher St John Sprigg’s well plotted books “The Perfect Alibi” – can you crack the case?  A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Something a little different – “Home Aromatherapy” a step by step guide on using essential oils at home.

Did you know that 50% of the world’s bluebells grow in the UK? A return by car to Prior’s Coppice for a bluebell walk.
