Lardner A day at the coast represents the ideal escape route for many of us. The colour of the sea, the curve of the harbour, and the charm of the fishing boats and seabirds combine to make up one of the classic traditional scenes of English life which many of us find irresistible. Rebecca Lardner’s award-winning artwork draws these elements together and crystallises a moment in the life of a busy fishing village in her enchanting and highly recognisable style. But in this new collection this view of life is just that – a view, from the windows of a delightfully bijou seaside home. Rebecca’s own home in Dorset is close to the Jurassic coastline that features in her paintings. Lovingly transformed from bland holiday let to a cottage of extraordinary character and charm, it provides the perfect backdrop for Rebecca’s creative world. Her garden studio is the dream starting point for her work. The location, the space, the palette and the all- pervading light give an impression of outdoor life, and the proliferation of windows give her away as a girl who would rather be in the garden or on the beach. 5 6 rebecca lardner FINE ART PREVIEW palette that never strays far from the blues, greys and greens of the ocean. The large ensemble cast of figures, boat and gulls creates an impression of ceaseless industry which is surveyed from grandstand seats by an ever-watchful audience of sea birds. All this is seen as a backdrop though, framed by beautifully dressed windows. On the inside it’s a different story and everything is peaceful as the day ticks calmly by. In the foreground is an array of characters who seem more interested in their own thoughts and conversations than what is going on behind them, and this cheeky slant on the sea view draws us irresistibly into an idyllic world of light and life. Rebecca has exhibited her winning artwork in a range of high calibre galleries in the UK, Europe and the USA and her work has sold to collectors from all over the world. Visit the web site to view the complete summer collection from Rebecca. Rebecca was born in Dorset in 1971. Despite travelling the world from Ireland to India she always returns home to paint her first love - the coastline of South West Britain. and her engaging oils on canvas have an upbeat, quirky appeal that never fails to capture the mood of this charismatic area. Her new collection represents another delightful foray into the lively world of the classic English fishing village. The combination of timeless subject matter and gentle humour gives these pieces a singular charm and the marine element is accentuated by the distinctive ‘the modern day OUR USUAL TABLE Paper Edition of 195 Canvas Edition of 195 Size 14”x 14” Size 14”x 14” 7 FRAMED £315 FRAMED £325 L.S.Lowry’ 8 john waterhouse FINE ART PREVIEW THE Perfect Spot Down BY THE RIVER Paper Edition of 195 Paper Edition of 195 Size 10”x 10” Size 10”x 10” FRAMED £225 FRAMED £225 “I then proceed with the painting, working mainly in oil.

Grundsätzlich gelten öffentliche Bibliotheken als Hauptzielgruppe und ihnen werden spezielle Dienstleistungen von den Verlagen selbst oder dem Bibliothekszulieferer angeboten. Die britische und amerikanische Konkurrenz ist im Kindertonträgerbereich besonders groß. Aus diesem Grund spezialisieren sich australische Hörbuchverlage auf die Produktion von Büchern australischer Autoren und/ oder über Australien. Bei Kindern sind die Autoren John Marsden, Paul Jennings und Andy Griffiths sehr beliebt.

Es gibt aber einige Gruppen, z.B. die Wiggles, und Entertainer, z.B. Don Spencer, die Lieder für Kinder schreiben und auf- nehmen. Da der Markt für Kindertonträger in Australien noch im Aufbau ist, lohnt es sich, die Entwicklungen weiter zu verfolgen.

  • 1. Nivell Bàsic. Comprensió Lectora (Reading Comprehension)
    1. NIVELL BÀSIC. COMPRENSIÓ LECTORA (READING COMPREHENSION) PART 1. MULTIPLE CHOICE TEST. Read the following text about politicians in London. For questions 1-5, choose the most appropriate option A, B or C. The activity begins with an example. Write your answers on the answer sheet. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT To know something about the world of Britain’s politicians, you should explore the Houses of Parliament. They are part of the Palace of Westminster, which stands on the banks of the Thames across the river from the London Eye. At the Northern end of the Palace there’s a clock tower. As soon as they see it, tourists shout “That’s Big Ben!” Actually, Big Ben is only the name of the impressive 13-tonne bell. You should visit the House of Commons’ public gallery, where you can observe debates on weekday afternoons and evenings. Once inside, visitors pass through the octagonal Central Lobby (where the public can meet members of parliament- MPs), and then enter the House itself. The Government and the Opposition sit on green benches divided by a long table and two parallel red lines. MPs mustn’t cross these lines. The debates are often noisy affairs where The Speaker has to control the proceedings: MPs must attract his attention if they want to speak. Sessions begin with open questions and then new laws are considered. The rest of the Palace of Westminster is only open to public tours during the summer, when you can see the Victoria Tower, the Royal Apartments and the spectacular Westminster Hall.

    BBC ONE AUTUMN 2003 THE COMING SEASON ON BBC ONE DRAMA 02 ENTERTAINMENT 08 FACTUAL 14 SPORT 24 CBBC & DAYTIME 28 INDEX 32 COPYRIGHT NOTICE The material contained in this Press Pack bulletin is protected by copyright which is owned by the BBC and may not be reproduced or used other than in respect to BBC programmes. © BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION 2003 DRAMA CHARLES II A dynamic romp through history - racy, visceral and violent – Charles II is set in the corridors and bedrooms of power, when the conflict between monarch and State was at a crossroads. Starring Rufus Sewell as King Charles II, Rupert Graves, Helen McCrory, Martin Freeman, Dame Diana Rigg and Ian McDiarmid. The drama focuses on the court of King Charles II, his squabbling family and his glamorous mistresses – from the high-born and promiscuous Barbara Villiers (Helen McCrory) through folk heroine and sex symbol of the day Nell Gwynne, to French spy Louise de Keroualle (Mélanie Thierry). From the pen of award-winning screenwriter Adrian Hodges, whose credits include David Copperfield and The Lost World, this ambitious and original take on Charles’s reign penetrates to the heart of the charismatic monarch who was deeply traumatised by the execution of his father. Charles Stuart is destitute, weary and hopeless. After nearly a decade in exile from Republican England, never did the prospects of regaining his crown seem so bleak - until canny General Monck persuades Parliament to invite him back to take up the throne. Charles’s triumphant ride into London on his 30th birthday segues into another victory: the long-anticipated seduction of beautiful, tantalising Barbara Villiers, who has been holding out on him for several months.
