Culzean was one of my favourite places to go as a child and this love has continued into adulthood. I really enjoyed this book and I wish this is the kind of thing we learned at school! I had no idea most of the information in this book.
I feel at least 10 of the words found in this great little book will make it into my full time vocabulary.

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started reading this book. I had no idea who the author was and as a child of the internet age Hef is little more than a caricature to me. Having now read ths book, I have to say it was better written than I was expecting. Not because of who the author is, but because of the subject. It almost didnt have to be well written to sell a lot due to the subject, but I enjoyed the writing. However, Crystal does represent herself at times as savvy enough to play the game so well she became mrs Hefner, but at other times as to be so naive its not credible. Overall a decent biography and sadly a window into what the world will condone a powerful man doing.
A publication of Kilwinning Herritage from 2015, updating the orginal text from 1983.
This short pamphlet covers the history of the society as well as including some old photographs of Kilwinning Abbey. An enjoyable, fact packed little read.

A bit of a silly one but I enjoyed it for what it was. I actually think there was a lot here that could have been explored and I believe there is a sequel which I will read. Not a world changing book, but a fun read.
A bit shorter than the other Hummingbird book I read the other day but packed with some promising looking cakes.

Couldn't resist picking this up when it was on sale. I have highlighted SO many different things to try making.
I don't think I have ever read until now an Australian BBQ book. A lot of these recipes are a bit ingredient heavy for my liking, I prefer my BBQ simple. Although I have flagged a few recipes to try.
