Lost Lad (42 page)

Special thanks to Mrs B. Hull-Bailey for the use of Cressbrook Hall, still there today, a period family home offering elegant guest accommodation in a magnificent setting overlooking Water-cum-Jolly Dale.

The ever popular Exmouth View Hotel in Babbacombe appeared by kind permission from David and Milka Browne. 

I am grateful to the artist Lesley Robinson of Shipley Park for her first class work in designing and painting the front cover.

Finally a big 'thank you' to John Holmes of BBC Radio Nottingham for, once again, allowing his good name to appear in front of my work.  His generous encouragement and support over the last six years has been invaluable.
