  • PREFACE in 1974 Enid and I Decided to Look for a House of Our Own As I
    PREFACE In 1974 Enid and I decided to look for a house of our own as I was due to retire in 1976. Gloucestershire we knew was a nice county in which to live. We had certain connections with it. On our days off we frequently toured the Cotswolds, we were then living in Henley-on-Thames. Added to this, in about 1910 my father considered buying the practice at Northleach and so becoming its local doctor, however, he went to Weobley in Herefordshire. His father, James Strachan Clarke who died in 1976 aged 45 or 46 had been a tenant farmer at Ashwick Grange, Marshfield and apparently the Land Agent of the people living at Ashwick Hall. Unfortunately, the records of ownership of the Hall were destroyed in the Bristol blitz during World War II so I know nothing about them. In the parish church there is a brass plate concerning him. The name is incorrect, he is called James Stephenson Clarke, this was an error on the part of my Aunt Agnes, his eldest daughter. In 1775 a certain John Clarke married Jane Stephenson, she is alleged to be the beauty of the Clarkes (though I would think, judging from the pictures, that my wife Enid, runs her a close second and is probably ahead of her). The name Stephenson became attached to the Clarkes until the present day. After a long search we saw a photograph of our cottage in the premises of Bloss, Tippett and Taylor of Bourton-on-the-Water and in 1976 bought it from Mr.

  • PDF Download Trouble in the Cotswolds
    TROUBLE IN THE COTSWOLDS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Rebecca Tope | 320 pages | 19 Mar 2015 | ALLISON & BUSBY | 9780749014537 | English | London, United Kingdom Trouble in the Cotswolds PDF Book Phil and Thea are blamed for stirring things up. Never puts two and two together, generally has to be spoon fed the glaringly obvious answer. The only spark i got from reading it was annoyance at the character for being so whiny and negative. And generally granny is highly regarded by lots of friends in Blockley. Everyone hated Stevie, but surely not enough to kill him. No trivia or quizzes yet. Help us improve our Author Pages by updating your bibliography and submitting a new or current image and biography. She is house sitting in Stanton, looking after ferns, a blond alsation dog, and some pet rats, but is so poorly that she neglects her duties. As well as looking after the house, Thea has also to look after Harriet's reptiles. This is book ten in another of the series that I am reading because I bought the books, so I may as well read them. However, when two people show up brutally murdered the following afternoon, even when battling a fever Thea finds herself thrust into the middle of yet another Police investigation. Sort order. Caz is brilliant at her job - a future high flyer. Highly recommended. In this she is accompanied by her dog Hepzie. The twelfth in the Cotswolds house-sitter series moves the romance of the protagonist and her undertaker admirer to long-awaited fruition. Was it simply because the book was not aimed at me - because it's a woman's book, aimed at women, by a female author writing about a female detective from the female perspective? Thea is not very popular - is she some mad woman, is it a joke? Thea has to leave her family to grieve to take up her latest commission in Little Slaughter.
