Colin's book (Waters Edge ) concentrates on the sea shore and the events that transpired, the area of detail being from Cooden to Beachy Head and includes stories of just a sprinkling of charactes who have by their presence here made the area into such a remarkable place.
It is available now, priced at £ 9.99.
Introduction.
Compiling this book has given me tremendous pleasure. Seeking out old friends and relations and sharing our reminisences of days now long gone. It was indeed wonderful to perceive that each and every one of us held the same idealism on our past history. We helped one another, not stole from them, and rose to our feet when the National Anthem was played and respected the laws of the land. Sadly now our grandchildren are no longer taught of the great achievements of our forefathers or of the millions who gave their lives in two great wars that they may live in relative peace. But of the future, only a fool would fortell.
