A reluctant 12 year old Gerald Jones is sent to Busbeater Mansions, his uncle's grand but dusty old country house for the summer holidays where he expects to be very bored for weeks on end. But then one rainy day a mysterious stranger arrives beating urgently on the door; whoever he is, he has important and surprising news. It turns out that Busbeater Mansions has a massive secret; a Time Machine lolling about upstairs. With the evil Baron von Achtung in hot pursuit Gerald, Uncle Busbeater and the rest of his wildly eccentric relations and friends set off on a magnificent adventure across space and time landing, wrongly, at the court of tyrant King John on the day before he agrees Magna Carta. Can they escape the King's clutches, get to the right place and time, defeat the Baron, save the day and get home safely, via the moon obviously, all without changing history? There are many, many moments when Gerald is not so sure.

An empath, or highly sensitive person, is forced to experience other people's suffering as if it were their own. It is never pleasant. This ability to feel other people's stuff is labelled as a gift, yet it is more often than not experienced as a curse. Spending time with anxious, angry or fearful people can be totally overwhelming, especially if those people are determined to dump their stuff on somebody else rather than deal with it themselves. Taking on other people's moods, emotions and even illnesses can be a life-limiting problem. The purpose of this book is to offer practical and proven solutions so that empaths can learn to enjoy the company of others rather than dread being with them. Its aim is to offer these extremely sensitive souls no-nonsense ways and means to finally discover a degree of peace in their dealings with the rest of the world.

Birmingham Archaeology Monograph Series 7This report describes the results of an archaeological programme undertaken by Birmingham Archaeology between 2005 and 2007 at King's Norton, Birmingham, for King's Norton Parochial Church Council. It also incorporates the documentary research conducted independently by George Demidowicz and Stephen Price, concentrating on tenurial history, the history of repairs, historic images and the wider village landscape. The work was largely associated with the restoration of two buildings adjacent to the parish churchyard in the centre of the former village, both of which contain substantial 15th-century timber-framed elements. The Old Grammar School and the Saracen's Head were the winners of the BBC Restoration programme competition in 2004, an event that facilitated the restoration aims of the PCC by precipitating access to Heritage Lottery Fund support. The finds included a large assemblage of pottery from the earlier and later medieval periods, as well as a number of Roman sherds. Several medieval clay roof tiles were represented, and there was a small collection of glazed floor tiles apparently contemporary with the Saracen's Head, some of which appear to have been in situ when recovered. Such an array of evidence for medieval occupation was not replicated during the excavation at No. 86 on the opposite side of The Green, where nothing that was definitely earlier than the 16th century was recorded or recovered. Although the site was close to or within the important medieval Prior's Court complex, the paucity of the archaeology may be related to the limited size of the excavation combined with the severe truncation of the site. It was fortunate that documentary evidence was able to provide an historical context to interpret the slim findings.Written by Malcolm Hislop, George Demidowicz and Stephen Price.With contributions by Robert Burrows, Mark Charles, Kevin Colls, Mary Duncan, Christopher Hewitson, David Higgins, Matilda Holmes, Rob Ixer, Phil Mills, Nicholas Molyneux, Natasha Powers, Stephanie Rátkai, Jennie Stopford, Ric Tyler and Meg Watters.
