Staying in the small village of Cordon and exploring the island of Arran, it would be nice to describe this as a deeply researched multi-faceted account of Arrans history and development through the eons - but its not.This short travelogue records the activities and observations of a group of young people and their leader as they travel to Arran and explore its villages, glens and tourist shops.As before, all proceeds go to the scout group to which the participants belong. I wish I could say the previous short account of our trip along The Great Glen Way has lifted us from charitable penury - but it hasnt.Oh well ;-)

¿Te imaginas qué ocurriría si alguien apagara el Sol?A Marcelo no es que le gustaran los helados, ¡es que le encantaban los helados! Nada le gustaba más que comerse un enorme helado de cucurucho sentado en su banco favorito de la playa. Pero habia un problema: el Sol. Sus ardientes rayos siempre derretian su helado y lo convertian en una masa viscosa. ¡PUAJ! Harto de esta situacion, a Marcelo se le ocurre una brillante idea: ¡apagar el sol! Lo que no imagina son las consecuencias que tendra su plan.

A bundle of passionate but unclaimed love letters written a century ago and found in a London bank vault have led to the uncovering of an extraordinary story. Research has revealed the adventures of a spirited young woman who by the standards of the time, or perhaps any time, behaved scandalously. Yet she managed to avoid disgrace, get her man, and go on to lead a respectable life. At first sight Ellen Nelsens behaviour appears shocking. Among other misdeeds she appears to have been bigamously married twice. Given her circumstances, however, her survival is a triumph of fortitude over betrayal.

A quiet market town with no military presence was chosen as the secret communications centre for Britain as the country prepared for war with Germany in 1937. When hostilities began, Q Central attracted a dozen other clandestine operations set up to defend the country or designed to confuse and undermine enemy morale. The headquarters of radar, RAF Group 60, also came to Leighton Buzzard to be hidden from German attack and to be close to the telephone and radio communications needed to run its vast chain of radar stations. These directed the defending fighters that saved the country in the Battle of Britain and then took the bombing war to Germany. Close by, for the same reasons of secrecy and safety, were the satellite stations of Bletchley Park, the now famous code-breaking centre; the Met Office at Dunstable, which gave the all clear for the D-Day landings; Black Ops units that set up false radio stations and wrote propaganda to confuse the enemy; and airfields used for dropping agents behind enemy lines. At Q Central itself was the largest telephone exchange in the world, with more than 1,000 teleprinters communicating with all the armed services in every theatre of war and directing the operations of the secret services. Now the restrictions of the Official Secrets Act have been lifted, enabling eight members of the Leighton Buzzard and District Archaeology and History Society to piece together this compelling story for the first time.
