Now he’s turned up in the seaside village where she lives and is setting up a gelateria in direct competition to her retro Summer Sundaes Café. She's only been running her café for two years since taking over from her father. Until now the only other shops on the boardwalk have been a wool shop, an antique shop and a second-hand book shop.

Winter Whimsy at Golden Sands Bay When Lexi Davies discovers that her father has sold the fishermen’s cottages where she lives and runs her holiday business, she is heartbroken. Then Oliver Whimsy arrives at the boardwalk and announces that he is the new owner and Lexi realises that the future she was looking forward to enjoying at her cottages is over. Oliver might be handsome, wealthy and very sexy, but he’s new to the island and has already made a terrible impression on the locals. When the Scottish entrepreneur offers Lexi a job, she’s unsure whether she should accept. Unfortunately, she has little alternative if she wants to keep a roof over her head for the winter. Sunny Days at Golden Sands Bay When artist Jools Jones’, new man Finn Gallichan, leaves the Boardwalk to go travelling for several months she’s not too worried. She has her paintings to keep her busy and helps her grandmother run their second hand bookshop, Boardwalk Books.

Snow Angels at Golden Sands Bay Portia Fortescue has traded in the hustle and bustle of London to help renovate a magnificent French manor house on the beautiful island of Jersey with her boyfriend Charlie. But what they hoped would be a blissful escape to the chateau, turns out to be more of a DIY SOS. As the winter snow sets in, the stress of restoring the derelict building begins to take its toll on their relationship. Portia has known heartbreak before, but thought she’d found her happy-ever-after with Charlie...

Author: Julia Giacomelli

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Julia’s story begins in the sixties. Visiting London as a young woman, she meets Franco, a charming Venetian, and they fall in love. After several flights between New Zealand and Italy, and lengthy family discussions, the couple marry and settle on the Lido of Venice. And so Julia’s adjustment to married life and the Venetian lifestyle begins amid the challenge of learning not only Italian but also the local dialect. Two daughters soon follow, as do friendships with the locals – both Italians and expats from a host of countries. Julia immerses herself in Italian culture and language, with often hilarious results. Captivated by her surroundings, Julia develops a deep interest in the rich history of the islands that make up Venice. Every building, every canal, and every island tells a story about the people who settled the Venetian Lagoon over the countries. Beautiful and vibrant, Venice forms a fascinating background to Julia’s life as she raises their bilingual daughters and gradually integrates with the help of her husband, her family, and her friends. Eventually, the family transfers to New Zealand, and now it is Franco and their daughters who have to adjust! Julia and her family return to Italy regularly, keeping their familial and friendship ties strong. The Golden Sands of Change is a tribute, a story about Julia’s love for Italy, and her magical experiences while living there and on her frequent visits back.

A World Beneath the Sands
Author: Toby Wilkinson
Publisher: Picador
ISBN: 9781509858736
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
'It is a story full of drama, with the Nile, the pyramids and the Valley of the Kings as backdrop. That A World Beneath the Sands is also a subtle and stimulating study of the paradoxes of 19th-century colonialism is a bonus indeed.' - Tom Holland, GuardianWhat could be more exciting, more exotic or more intrepid than digging in the sands of Egypt in the hope of discovering golden treasures from the age of the pharaohs? Our fascination with ancient Egypt goes back to the ancient Greeks. But the heyday of Egyptology was undoubtedly the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This golden age of scholarship and adventure is neatly book-ended by two epoch-making events: Champollion's decipherment of hieroglyphics in 1822 and the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon a hundred years later.In A World Beneath the Sands, the acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson tells the riveting stories of the men and women whose obsession with Egypt's ancient civilisation drove them to uncover its secrets. Champollion, Carter and Carnarvon are here, but so too are their lesser-known contemporaries, such as the Prussian scholar Karl Richard Lepsius, the Frenchman Auguste Mariette and the British aristocrat Lucie Duff-Gordon. Their work - and those of others like them - helped to enrich and transform our understanding of the Nile Valley and its people, and left a lasting impression on Egypt, too. Travellers and treasure-hunters, ethnographers and epigraphers, antiquarians and archaeologists: whatever their motives, whatever their methods, all understood that in pursuing Egyptology they were part of a greater endeavour - to reveal a lost world, buried for centuries beneath the sands.

Fruit from the Sands
Author: Robert N. Spengler
Publisher: University of California Press
ISBN: 0520379268
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
"A comprehensive and entertaining historical and botanical review, providing an enjoyable and cognitive read.”—Nature The foods we eat have a deep and often surprising past. From almonds and apples to tea and rice, many foods that we consume today have histories that can be traced out of prehistoric Central Asia along the tracks of the Silk Road to kitchens in Europe, America, China, and elsewhere in East Asia. The exchange of goods, ideas, cultural practices, and genes along these ancient routes extends back five thousand years, and organized trade along the Silk Road dates to at least Han Dynasty China in the second century BC. Balancing a broad array of archaeological, botanical, and historical evidence, Fruit from the Sands presents the fascinating story of the origins and spread of agriculture across Inner Asia and into Europe and East Asia. Through the preserved remains of plants found in archaeological sites, Robert N. Spengler III identifies the regions where our most familiar crops were domesticated and follows their routes as people carried them around the world. With vivid examples, Fruit from the Sands explores how the foods we eat have shaped the course of human history and transformed cuisines all over the globe.
