An Eternal Circle - Part 6
For 2,000 years the Ephesus gladiator cemetery has been more than simply a home to the bones of fallen warriors. Unbeknown to Tyra and her group, as they search for Alruna – the slave child and Drusilla's half-sister – merely standing on this hallowed ground beneath the ominous black marble obelisk with its sinister warning, has inadvertently set in motion the forces of destiny once again while the stars and planets in the night sky all point to an earthly event of cosmic proportions. When the next moon rises, the most celebrated gladiatrix and High Priestess to Minerva will throw off the restraining bonds of the afterlife and embark upon a desperate odyssey to find those she once loved in another time.
What does the future hold in store for a woman born twenty centuries ago and who, presumably, knows nothing of the modern world along with its unfamiliar peoples, customs and technology? Will her presence be accepted amid the hoped-for atmosphere of conciliation, fond memories and atonement? Or is it her fate to be spurned, rejected and turned away a second time, as her former lover regards her in the manner of a bizarre anomaly of the spirit world, impossible to exist in the first place and here on a mission of questionable motives?

Angling Around Ireland
The fly line hisses as it shoots through the rings, the salt-laden north wind catching it as it touches the waves. The angler, hunched against the elements, pulls in the slack, and waits for the line and flies to sink before beginning a jerky retrieve. Halfway back the line stops, then goes slack again. A muffled curse is lost to the breeze. That’s the second one to come short today. Three casts later a sharp tug is accompanied by a swirl amid the white topped waves. That one is on!

Their quest for answers is fraught with dilemmas, knowing that each step taken will etch permanent marks on their lives and those of future generations. Spanning half a century, Another Time is a rich tapestry of familial ties, an emotional odyssey through love and loss, fidelity, and betrayal, set against the rapidly shifting moral landscape of the 20th Century, forever altered in the aftermath of conflict.

Review:
I was given the book to read and I loved it. It was one of those books that I did not want to put down but equally did not want to finish, as I was enjoying it too much (like saving a new
dress ‘for best’). It was all so simple, it made sense and it worked!!! Now, I am not going to elaborate more, because I am now too busy living anxiety-free!
Too busy enjoying life.
Planning life.
Too happy to even think about the old me who wasted so much time feeling anxious, stressed, miserable, not wanting to be here.
So, read it for yourself.£8.99 -

Astounding Agnes, The First Girl Guide
Meet Agnes Baden-Powell, the clever girl who grew up to be the talented and energetic first president of the Girl Guides! Learn about her family, early life, skills and talents in this book, for children aged six and up.
Agnes was an unconventional Victorian woman who loved sports and nature. She promoted outdoor education and activities for girls and young women long before it was fashionable. Agnes worked tirelessly to establish Girl Guiding and grow the organisation. She penned numerous articles and traveled extensively to convince people about the benefits of joining.
Sadly, Agnes did not receive much recognition during her lifetime. She was later sidelined and excluded from leadership positions. A campaign to see her receive more recognition for her achievements and to celebrate her legacy is gaining support. Hopefully this book will create more awareness of this astounding woman’s contributions to the Girl Guiding movement, which continues to inspire and empower girls and young women today.
“I think it’s great! It will be a delightful, inspirational children’s book! Agnes was the most remarkable woman and it’s so good that her talents and achievements are being given due recognition. I wish Catherine Gritz every success with it.” From Gill Clay, Agnes’s great-niece.
