I Couldn't even Boil an Egg

I Couldn't even Boil an Egg

A Western woman’s story of 30 years in the Middle East – When Elisabeth Lindesay married a young international banker in 1950, she found herself uprooted from her comfortable Scottish home and swept into a new and colourful life in the Middle East. Married life became a whirlwind of house moves and homemaking, social engagements and childcare challenges as they raised their four offspring in a series of contrasting settings, all fascinating, but each with its own headaches, from eccentric nannies and peculiar foodstuffs to political riots. After moving from Iran to Jordan while their first child was still a tiny baby, the couple went on to set up home successively in Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, Tunisia, Libya, Qatar, Kuwait and Morocco, giving them a far greater insight into life in the Middle East than most Westerners could dream of. I Couldn’t Even Boil an Egg is Lis’s account of those happy, hectic years.

From the Diplomatic Bag

William McDowell’s life story: From the Diplomatic Bag, makes the kind of colourful tale that simply doesn’t happen in the modern world. Packed with adventure and excitement it tells of his life in India, the country of his birth. McDowell’s brushes with death began early in life. While still in his teens he was kidnapped by a group of tribesmen and kept prisoner for several days in a case of mistaken identity. On a canoe voyage down a swollen river he was flung from his canoe and dragged out of the water more dead than alive. He also narrowly survived a plane crash on a diplomatic mission. The sectarian turmoil during the partition of India McDowell witnessed involved many harrowing experiences. He saw a close friend decapitated by an angry mob of Muslim fanatics and had to deal with the aftermath of slaughters by extremist Muslims, which left scores of innocent people dead or horribly mutilated. On a less tragic note, there was the time McDowell unwittingly threw the president of the Punjabi National Congress out of a train after a dispute about the occupancy of a compartment, an event, which nearly cost him his career and his friend the Maharaja of Patiala once offered him the freedom of his harem, which he politely declined. Life did start to calm down a little after McDowell managed to shoot his own foot off on a pigeon-shooting trip, but the adventures were not over. When he was sent to the high passes of the Himalayas to find out where Russian refugees from the revolution were getting through, he was snowed in for three months. He survived only by killing and eating a hibernating black bear, which was sharing his cave.

From Smuggling to Cotton Kings

From Smuggling to Cotton Kings

From Smuggling to Cotton Kings deals with the history of a family, which helped to shape the economic fortunes of Britain for more than two centuries. In 1715, John Greg sailed from the family home in Ayrshire to seek his fortune in Ulster. He soon built a successful business as a merchant. Half a century later two of his grandsons, Thomas and Samuel, sailed back to Britain and founded businesses of their own. Thomas in banking and finance, Samuel in textiles. Samuel became a prominent figure in the development of the cloth industry. He helped to take the industry forward by investing heavily in the adoption of waterpower. Meanwhile brother Thomas made a prudent entry into the marine insurance business, at a time when Britain’s overseas trade was expanding at a prodigious rate. By the end of the 18th Century they had built up large fortunes. After a serious setback caused by the economic slump in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th Century, business recovered and by the time the brothers died in the 1830s they were both, in today’s terms, multi-millionaires.

Forest Diaries

Forest Diaries

Deborah Sweet first fell in love with the wonders of the Forest of Dean and the River Wye on courting visits with her sweetheart, Charlie Ferneyhough, back in the 1970s. Since marrying and raising a family Deborah and Charlie have returned hundreds of times, canoeing down the river on summer days, walking miles down remote forest tracks, picnicking in the snow, watching and studying the rich wildlife and getting to know the very special people who live in this part of the English-Welsh border.

Forest Diaries is a delightful tribute to countless happy hours spent in this beautiful and unspoilt part of rural Britain.
