Ann Nelson and her friend Joyce appealed through social media, posters, and word of mouth, to the people of Farnborough, asking them to contribute their experiences of the pandemic years 2020/2021 to a memory book.

Over 100 children wrote down their thoughts and experiences. They were moved to laughter and tears by the children's amazing contributions.

Other contributors of all ages have offered poems, photographs and written a range of articles for inclusion in the book which they have called Farnborough Folk - The Lost Years?

Copies of Farnborough Folk-The Lost Years? are now available at a cost of £10 each. All profits will go to local mental health charities.

Buying a copy will give you something to hand down to your children and grandchildren.

To order a copy please contact Ann Nelson at farnboroughmemories@hotmail.com or call 07719 570261.

Mums really do know best! Hear how Susan Stewart used her own personal circumstances to create a story of hope, in her debut - dyslexia friendly - children’s book; ‘Dog-Lexius: A Tale of Two Friends.’

A desire to write was always within Susan, but it was only after experiencing her own family trials that she was able to access her unique creative flow with a subject that was very close to her heart. Susan shares her own personal journey of discovering dyslexia with her son from the tender age of 5; the time when her initial suspicions arose.

We hear how frustrations propelled her to want to help others and shine the light on the diagnosis process and how as a parent, you can best support your child, whilst not condemning yourself too.

‘Dog-Lexius’ is a dyslexia friendly, fantasy text, about a boy who realizes he has dyslexia and discovers that it’s his superpower!
