'Time for coffee and things, guv?' 'Things?' 'I'll show you where my biscuits are...just in case your memory's a bit faulty!' My name is Bing (short for Bingo Little of Lowtown) and I am a Grand Bassett Griffon Vendeen. I live with Tom, Angela and an Arthur but I spend a couple of days each week with the guv Tim. Between you and me, I'm needed there as he's getting rather forgetful. So to help keep his brain active, I ask him questions about all the things that puzzle me. Though it has to be said, he's not got much more of a clue than me...Followers of the highly popular blog Lines From My Forehead will need no introduction to the weird and wonderful world of the dog of rather large brain Bing as he wanders through his days with guv Tim. Together they ponder the great philosophical mysteries of life. Just what is the point of snowboarding? Why do buzzers and whizzers disturb peaceful summer days? Above all, where are the treats? Upside down television, squeaky balls and ducks are all viewed in the gentle, humorous world of Bing and Tim.

Choirmaster George Mitchell hated the limelight, yet was responsible for a worldwide show business phenomenon - the George Mitchell Choirs and ultimately the Black and White Minstrel Show, which won the first-ever Golden Rose of Montreux, becoming the world's Best Light Entertainment show. Sold to television companies worldwide, including many in Africa and the Caribbean, it was the first television show to invade and capture the live theatre, running on the London stage, the provinces, Australia and New Zealand from 1962 until 1987. George remains the only artiste simultaneously to hold 1st, 2nd and 4th places in the album charts. Yet, twenty years later, the BBC airbrushed the show from history. But deeply embedded in the world consciousness, it refused to die and is part of the world's collective consciousness, its 'racial' aspect now unthinkingly defining a show that was so much more, as indeed was George's career. Recent documentaries have retold the story, concentrating on the perceived racial aspect. None has told the full unbiased story, not just of the Minstrels but of George and his singers, at the top of the tree for fifteen years before the Minstrels.Now, thanks to unprecedented access to their archives and with the full co-operation of George's widow, the story of these singers' forgotten role in British light entertainment can be told, set against a backdrop of post-war Britain and rising racial tensions.Appealing to entertainment, history and biography lovers, the book reclaims George's rightful place in the history of entertainment.

As part of their project in commemoration of the Armistice which ended the First World War, the children of present day Caerleon in S Wales imagined the letters and poems they might have written to and from the Front during the war. Both primary schools, Charles Williams Church in Wales School and The Lodge Primary School, spent the 2018 summer term learning about life both at home and at the Front. In collaboration with Caerleon Remembers, which is co-ordinating the Remembrance Day events, 150 children were asked to try to compose letters and poems to imaginary WW1 servicemen fighting amongst the bomb craters, barbed wire and mud filled trenches of Flanders, sending the soldiers messages of hope and telling them about life back home in peaceful Caerleon. Some wrote letters to fathers at the Front, some chose to write home to families from the Front. Others wrote poems about the war, and many chose to illustrate their imaginings. Caerleon Remembers decided to include all contributions, in order to show the depth of knowledge these children have taken in about life in the trenches and at home. The result is this deeply moving book.As both Head Teachers say, `Fortunately, the children of Caerleon have not experienced the effects of war first-hand and we pray that this remains so. For our children, war and conflict is often confined to books and screens; it is something that happens elsewhere and it is something that only affects adults. This project has allowed our children to begin to understand that war, both in the past and present, affects all people everywhere, including the young, and that its legacy has long-lasting consequences. As imagined letters to and from the front were drafted, our children began to better appreciate the emotional cost of war, the love of family and the sanctity of peace. We would like to thank Caerleon Remembers for giving us this opportunity.'
