About the Books
Glorious Gloucestershire Book
Did you know that Sir Peter Scott was named after Peter Pan, a Stroud man invented instant custard and why there is a Cotswold Manor House that looks exactly like the Palace of Westminster? Gloucestershire has been at the forefront of world changing innovation, has inspired great works of literature and even has its own rhyming slang.
Join me on a joyful journey exploring the Gloucester streets that gave us Scrooge and Long John Silver, find out where classic TV and movie scenes were filmed and feast on delicious nuggets about royalty, rock stars and rugby legends. Walk with me to London in the footsteps of Dick Whittington, find out more about Gloucestershire’s quirky place names and fly over the county on Christmas Eve with Santa.
This book encapsulates all I have learned and shared over the years with thousands of inquisitive, funny, informative listeners. After spending thirty years broadcasting with BBC Radio Gloucestershire, this is my love letter to the county I adore. Find out more about my Glorious Gloucestershire Book here.
