In an old farmhouse on the slopes of a mountain lying between Tregaron & Aberystwyth, Elisabeth Luard brings the produce of the land into her kitchen & turns it into delicious food. This book is her response to the changes she sees in her garden & the surrounding countryside throughout the seasons, with distinctive recipes at the end of each month's chapter. It is the story of a year spent planting & picking in the garden, roaming the countryside with her grandchildren & introducing them to the pleasures of rural living. Elisabeth's cooking is rooted in the culture of the Mediterranean where she once lived, as well as being inspired by traditional Welsh recipes & by her own garden. In winter she stirs up warming dishes like Spanish biscocho or Welsh winter cawl; in the spring she waits until the first mayflower comes to bloom before planting lettuces, mangetouts & broad beans in her garden. She relies on locally sourced meat for dishes like Partridges with baby onions & cinnamon in red wine, Rabbit with tagliatelle, cream & mustard or Ceps with potatoes & bacon, & rakes the countryside for ingredients like fruit for Hedgerow jelly, nettles for soup, elderflowers for cordial, cake or even fritters. With full colour photography by Clare Richardson that perfectly captures the sense of life in the Welsh countryside, this is a unique & beautiful book. ...

A Corkscrew is Most Useful is a fascinating & richly detailed journey around the world as seen through Victorian eyes. At the height Queen Victoria’s British Empire, countless men & women set off to explore the known & unknown face of the globe, at the very same moment that the phenomenon of mass tourism was being launched by a Mr Thomas Cook. Their reasons for leaving Britain were as many & various as they themselves were. Some were searching for knowledge, adventure, fame, exotic animals to kill. Some hoped to be the first to stamp their mark upon a lake, a river source, a passage through the ice or an unknown inland sea; while others dreamed of bringing home archaeological specimens & ancient works of art of finding untold natural riches. Some travelled, as people have always done, for no reason at all except the sheer marvellous enjoyment of it
- & so it seems some parts of the Empire are alive & well after all. This is a fascinating book, ideal for anyone with a penchant for travelling, even those doing so from their armchair.

A Coruña CNIG Topo 21

Topographic coverage of mainland Spain at 1:50, 000 in the MTN50 (Mapa Topográfico Nacional) series from the Centro Nacional de Información Geografica, the country’s civilian survey organization. The maps have contours at 20m intervals, enhanced by relief shading, plus colouring and/or graphics to show different types of terrain, vegetation or land use. Boundaries of national parks and other protected areas are marked. In addition to all the usual information featured on topographic mapping at this scale, detailed presentation of the road and rail networks, rural tracks and paths, etc, the maps also show campsites and mountain refuges. On more recent editions some GRs, the official long-distance hiking routes, are also marked (although not as clearly as on hiking maps from
other publishers). Each map covers 29.5x18.5 km (with adjustments in the border or coastal areas). The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus margin ticks for latitude and longitude at 1` intervals. Map legend is in Spanish only.HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT 50K MAP: all the titles in CNIG’s 200K Provincial Road Maps series at 1:200, 000 are overprinted with the grid for the 1:50, 000 maps and can be used to see the area covered by each 50K title.
