We were typical young lovers with many dreams and fantasies which clouded reality for some time. But no more than a year and a half into our marriage Trish was diagnosed with Grade 3 invasive Breast Cancer.
We had never had a shock like this in our lives before. We couldn’t believe it. More so, we didn’t want to. We considered ourselves to be generally young and active, growing our own fruit and vegetables, doing physical labour on our allotment. Never take your health for granted.
It sounds so strong and rewarding. I don’t know if it’s just me but when I hear those lines, I just want to get out there and do something great.
My manager at the time, Dan Lauder, also a very well-travelled adventurer, had just completed an almost solo cycle from his door in England to the Coliseum in Rome. The distance of about 1,000 miles travelled in the space of ten days.
It is funny how life works sometimes. He had just finished a book that inspired him to take on an ultra-marathon and asked me if I was up for the challenge. I found myself saying yes even before I had a chance to think about what it meant.
IN MY PREPARATION I STUMBLED ON A WEBSITE CALLED THE GREAT TOUR, which was the circumnavigation of Britain’s coast line by bike. It looked like a worthy challenge and covered a distance of about 6,600 kilometres. I thought yes, that’s something I’d like to do

Harry Moses
The Faithful Sixth
The book covers the whole of the
period of history from 1919 to 1955, particularly through the eyes of those
officers and soldiers who served with the Battalion in peace and war,
reinforced with over 50 photographs and 9 maps.
If
you’re interested in local history then this is a must. Centred around Bishop
Auckland it really brings home the pride that still exists within the county.
These were Territorial and they gave there best and then more. A fantastic
read. Hard to come by so get one if you can.

For Your Tomorrow
The author, Harry Moses, was born in
Tow Law and recently retired as a headmaster. He has long been fascinated by
the history of the 6th DLI and this book is the result of his many years of
meticulous research.
I
thoroughly recommend this book

Audrey B. Insley – The Resisted Exercise
http://thememoirclub.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/audrey-insley.html
The Resisted Exercise describes
the story of a young girl training to be a physiotherapist.
Married with two sons, Audrey Insley
qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist specialising in trauma. She has worked
in teaching hospitals around the world. Audrey has written extensively for
magazines and newspapers worldwide.
The
book, The
Resisted Exercise, will do for the
popular profession of physiotherapy what 'Call The Midwife', has done for
nursing.

found the autobiography of Professor John Morley an extremely interesting read,
written by a man with a very enquiring mind.

David Hutchinson – Through a Looking Glass
http://thememoirclub.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/david-hutchinson.html
Through a Looking Glass is the
true story of an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances. David Hutchinson,
59 years old and retired from a life spent in international business, was
kidnapped by criminals and sold to the FARC, the main Colombian guerrilla.
A
nine-month forced march through the fierce terrain of Colombia ensued but the
author makes little of this and we can only guess his feelings when he is told
‘You pay, you go free’. But this is not a one sided story. David Hutchinson
incorporates his family’s side of the story; their efforts to contact him and
the FARC: a whole picture of the kidnap is created.
Through a Looking Glass - a great title for a great book! Memoir
Club, did such a good job.

Derek Finlay – Ten To Take Her Home
Sister Giles
The
End and the Beginning, Circle Completed
Having trained at the Webber School of
acting then became a Nun. After 20 years in a contemplative community she came
into the outside world to look after those who needed affection, nursing. This
account is written with humour with understanding & one is never felt to be
in any way a lesser mortal for failing in ones own way of life. Strongly
recommended to be read - not just once but again & again.

Peter Horsfall – Hard To Believe - Too Old At Sixteen
Brian
Wilson – Lost Certainties
This
is a book for those who, like Brian Wilson, are prepared to turn around. The
essence is caught in his quotation from Michael Ramsey: 'Cease to think of God
as a definable, supernatural person. Being the other way round. Look into the
depths of human existence, and discover deep down the ultimate meaning of
things. This ultimate reality is personal; it is love. Then we can say that
love, the ultimate reality, is God.'

Richard Wilding – Civil Servant: A Memoir
Richard
Wilding gives an insightful view into a career that started with the diplomatic
aspects of the Cyprus problem and finished with the financing of the Arts in
Britain. He served in six government departments, gaining a wide variety of
experience.
From this he builds up a picture of
what it was like to be a civil servant at this time. The author candidly admits
mistakes and launches a few barbs at fashionable management nostrums. His
account includes encounters with Dwight D Eisenhower, Harold Macmillan and
Margaret Thatcher.
Tom Russell – I Have The Honour To Be
Having been appointed to the
Colonial Administrative Service, the author describes the post war conditions
he found on his first assignment as a District Administrator in the Solomon
Islands. Following secondment to the Colonial Office he returned to the
Solomons where he undertook various duties in the portfolios of Home Affairs,
Personnel Administration and Finance. He was eventually promoted Chief
Secretary of the Western Pacific High Commission.
His
memoirs offer a vivid and well informed insight into colonial administration
