This second volume of the history of Tudor Yorkshire is a detailed study of the county from1558 to 1603, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Elizabeth never visited Yorkshire but had she done so, she would have found a vibrant, young society, searching for its religious values yet determined to enjoy itself. Life was lived at the local level for all but the privileged few, yet Yorkshire contributed fully, and often uniquely, to the nation’s wealth and defence. The book is a fascinating ...

Pickering has a long, continuous history, reaching back to prehistoric times. This new book traces the story of the town down the ages from prehistoric times to Saxon village, the coming of the Normans and the building of the castle to modern times when the town's economy changed from serving farming to light industry and tourism.

Our relationship with ourselves, life and others is holistic in that it should be harmonious. If it isn't then we get discord and disharmony and then we start to do and think silly things. Our own stability is based upon our perceptions and understandings of life and how we can freely share these with others that mean something to us and similarly we mean something to them.It's rarely an even balance, however it has to be at a level that sustains meaning otherwise life becomes shal...

It is important to value who you are. It is difficult at times when you are in a dark place and life seems to have no viable solutions as to what to do and where to go, but they are there. It's very difficult too in that dark place to have any energy as it seems to be sapped out of you because of the lack of impetus and desire.Your mind knows what is good but the body seems that it doesn't want to go any further, just waiting for that magic moment to suddenly materialize - and it d...

Thoughts, feelings, understandings, fears, etc about “Coming Out”. The audio goes through life around you, no one else just you, after all it’s your life and you are entitled to live it your way not how others want you to live it. You are not a toy or a pet or part of someone else’s aspiration or thoughts, you are unique. If others would like you to be unhappy to make them happy then they are not only ultra-selfish but quite inhuman.

Many people lack self-esteem, thinking they are not good enough or aren’t as wealthy as others, or haven’t the education or if they have they aren’t in with the right people and the list of pathetic excuses proliferates. You are PEFECT just the way you are, FULL STOP. The audio outlines feeling, emotions and understanding to get to grips with the perfect you.

Strange as it may seem loneliness is one of the biggest problems facing western society. You can have lots of friends and a great family and still feel so lonely.The audio explains many areas where we “let go” and don’t feel connected or seemingly don’t have the right people around us.

Many people are living a life that is steeped in unhappiness, it is steeped in regret and unwholesome feelings and thoughts that it is controlled by parents or religious or culturally based family entities.It's a sad situation to be in, but if love was there in its full force this would not have happened. It is imperative to live your own life and break free from the shackles of selfish and narrow stupidity.

Though provoking, interesting, factual, your life is yours to live no matter what that might be. If others don’t like you or can’t understand or get upset – remember that’s about them and NOTHING to do with you. We migrate to those who love us unconditionally, we remove ourselves from those that don’t, this is life. We decide our future not parents or others never forget that your life is yours.

Everything we do or thing about emanates from within our mind. It’s how we perceive life, love, cry, shout, smile, enjoy and all the rest, it happens nowhere else. No excuses as to background, circumstances, situations etc, all rubbish. We can be anything if we want, frequently the biggest problem we will ever have to face is ourselves.

Breaking free from narrow family pressures, evil religious doctrines, loveless situations, hopeless ways of life. We need to walk our walk not that of others, no matter who they are... No one has a right to tie you down with feigned responsibilities or emotional blackmail.No one if they have love in their hearts would dream of not allowing you to prosper and indeed would help you do so. If people want to selfishly hold you back it says more about them than it does about you.

We see today in the media created and concocted heroes, in reality you are your own hero, it’s you who manages your life and all the things you do within it.Don’t follow idiots and lose your own value, you have to go for and do what is expedient for you, whatever that is?
