Hot off the press today!!!! The Slug, the Snail and their Tale (With Idioms) by Sara Dufton.

It's a story about the growing friendship between Sidney, a trendy, tattooed, young slug and Sasha, a French snail. Sidney is feeling a little low. He is quite bored with his life in the garden and is looking to escape to a more exciting place. One day, quite by accident, he meets Sasha whilst breakfasting in the treehouse. She is lost and trying to find her way back to her native France. And so their tale begins....

The story includes idioms. An idiom is an every-day phrase or a group of words, which cannot easily be understood from the dictionary definition of each word taken separately. Idioms enrich our language making conversations more humorous and expressive and less monotonous. This is a lovely story and a great educational tool for parents and teachers.

So you have made your Will? A job well done in these uncertain times.

No one can deny that current events focus the mind. Even those of us with relatively sound health may stop and reflect on how our affairs would be handled should sudden, unthinkable events overtake us. Does my executor - my brother - know where my assets are, where my jewellery is stashed or how to care for the cat? Just what, if anything, does he know?

Unfortunately, too many law firms appear to be quite happy discussing the monetary value of a Will in forensic detail but skimp on the personal and practical issues that a well-prepared Letter of Wishes would assist your family and executors.

Last Orders Second Edition will help you address these unattended matters simply and efficiently so that when your nearest and dearest need your helping hand most, they will have the guidance you leave them. And, have no doubt, once this checklist is needed by your executors, you will be thanked endlessly for having taken the time to complete it.
