Angels, Dreams and Messages

Angels, Dreams and Messages is a book by Frederick Charles.

Frederick Charles has all the appearance of a modern renaissance man. Which what he is, pretty much.

He is an actor, a motivational speaker, a life coach and an author.

Frederick has a firm and unwavering belief in angels. He also believes in the importance of dreams, which he feels are "doorways into the subconscious and windows to the soul."

He believes that we can use our dreams to understand who we are and can be used to get a handle on what is happening in our lives.

They can, he avers, help us solve mysteries,  guide us, help us and act as teachers and mentors.

We can, he states, harness  the power of our dreams to help us to shape the reality that we want our lives to be.

He discusses the different types of dreams that we all are familiar with including sex dreams, dream where we are being chased, anxiety dreams, nightmares, psychic dreams and so forth.

Frederick describes many of the different dreams that he has had through the years.

Reading the book, I felt that Frederick was taking me on a journey through his mind, the mind of a man who is a genius, yet also warm, compassionate and filled with energy and a genuine love not only of life but a love of all humanity.

The book is an ideal present for those of us who are, generally speaking, hard to find presents for, those who are interested in esoteric subjects.

It is published by Austin Macauley at £7.99 and for a book of 324 pages, is very reasonably priced.

The ISBN is 798 1 84963 555 4.

Who's Who in Thomas Hardy

Who's who in Thomas Hardy is a book by Huw Barker Rahane that needs to be on the bookshelves of every Thomas Hardy fan in the world.

For the first time in years, certainly for the first time this century, someone has taken the time and trouble to methodically catalogue all fictional characters that grace the great works of one of the giants of English Literature, Thomas Hardy.

There's a handy key at the beginning of the book, next comes an alphabetical register of characters, cross-referenced to the book in which they appear. All 210 of them.

Part 1 covers the novels. There's a potted retelling of the story, then sometimes very detailed descriptions of the characters and how they relate to other characters in the book.

Part 2 covers the collections, the other works of Thomas Hardy.

There's even a short Thomas Hardy themed quiz at the end of the book.

At a mere £5.99 this book must be in the Christmas stocking of every student of English literature and every fan of Thomas Hardy.

It is published by Austin Macauley and the ISBN is 978 178455 020 2.

1,000 years of history condensed into a handy card game

You would not have thought it possible, but those brilliantly clever people at History Heroes set themselves one heck of a task, and managed to being it off with flying colours.

They have brought to the families of Britain (and the rest of the world, too) over 1,000 years of history presented in the form of a quiz for all the family card game.

It covers Explorers, World War 1, Sport and Scientists, each in their own set of playing cards.

The cards are not small, yet nor are they too big (11.8 x 7 x 1.8 cm) and they are well printed and each pack of cards covers a wide range of subjects.

For example in the Scientists pack you'll find information about Archimedes (c287-112BC, John Dalton 1766-1844, Edward Jenner 1749-1823, Alan Turing 1912-1954 and many more, besides.

What is the aim of the game? To capture as many of the cards as you can within an agreed time, all of them if you can manage it.

You shuffle the pack, deal the cards equally and then fun begins.

The game is not a game of chance, you must use the information on the cards in order to try to win as many of your opponent's cards as you can.

You can also use them as flash cards to learn facts about the great scientists, explorers, sports people and about World War 1.

It is ideal for all ages and will be highly useful for parents who are self-educating their children at home, or who want to help their children learn more about history in a pleasant, fun and interactive way.

Don't worry, full instructions are included with each pack of cards. Each pack in the series costs a reasonable £8.99 and should keep the family happy and quiet (well... sort of quiet!) for hours of fun learning.

You can order the cards online at the official website https://www.historyheroes.co.uk.

It's beginning to look a lot like Crispmas with Fairfields Farm Turkey Crisps

Yes, it's beginning to look a lot like Crispmas with Fairfields Farm Turkey Crisps.

When the brilliant family who farm at Fairfields Farm in Essex have a good idea, they don't do it by halves!

They go all out to ensure that whatever they do is done exactly right.

And so it is with their Turkey flavoured crisps.

They grow the potatoes and the Kellybronze turkeys on their own farm.

Then they carefully handcook the crisps, adding just the right amount of herbs (sage, parsley and thyme) to create their signature dish, their Turkey Crisps.

What are they like?

They are firmly crispy, yet not too crisp, being cooked to perfection.

And they taste just asw you would expect a Kellybronze Turkey to taste, when deliciously melded with the finest Essex-grown potatoes.

And don't forget, Kellybronze Turkeys are "Bred to be Wild."

You can learn more by visiting them at www.fairfieldsfarmcrisps.co.uk or call 01206 241613.

Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin

For people who think that all gins are the same, I hope that over the years, That's Christmas and our sister publication/site, That's Food and Drink has been able to bring you some rather special gins that might, hopefully, change your opinions of gin.

One such of these very special gins is Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin.

Although it describes itself as a London Dry Gin (and there's nothing wrong with a London dry Gin) Ophir Oriental Spiced Gin is far, far more than a London Dry Gin.

It is cunningly and lovingly crafted using a range of some very special botanicals  from the ancient spice route travelled by the likes of Marco Polo all those centuries ago.

So, what spices are actually used in this very special Oriental gin?

There is Cubebs (or tailed peppers) from Indonesia, Black Pepper from India and Coriander from Morocco.

Hand-picked, we are informed, to create a unique spiced gin.

And, yes, that description is right. It is unique and it is spiced.

What does it take like?

Like no other gin I have ever tasted, to be honest. And I mean that in a good, positive way.

The aroma is like when you open the doors of one of those secretive yet exciting spice shops that you find in parts of our major cities. It reminds me also of my wife's recipe for rice pudding, which, being an old family recipe from her Indian family, contains Coriander.)

So, we have established that it smells nice. What does it taste like?

There's an undercurrent of the two types of peppers, in the taste. But the predominant flavour is that of the Coriander. But it's not too strong, the balance between the different flavours is just right.

You really should give your Christmas guests a special treat this year and have a bottle of Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin in your drinks cabinet.

Served neat, or as part of a vastly different gin-based cocktail, Opihr will make you the talking point of your circle of friends and your family for some time to come.
