We're excited to announce that we're now selling 'Compton - from the skies to the seas - a love letter to the landscape' by Rosy Burke.
Read more about Rosy herself here.
The stories speak of:
- The skies – where 100mph gales have not hit land for 3,000 miles and paragliders glide with the young sea eagles . . .
- The downs – where the blue butterflies flutter and Tennyson strode for inspiration . . .
- The farm – where the bull’s big feet enabled him to escape over the cattle grid to get to his girlfriends on the other side . . .
- The road – where the farm tracks became a Military Road to protect England from French invasion . . .
- The cliffs – where huge chalk cliffs were made millions of years ago from skeletons of billions of tiny creatures to the naked lady who just avoided death by a falling cow . . .
- The beach – where families splash, and night-time fishermen quietly wait . . .
- The sea – where kite-surfers skim the waves over the undersea wrecks . . .
- Where the earth’s ancient geology is still moving and rewilding will spread the Ice Age landscape . . .
Rosy's story has been featured in both the Isle of Wight County Press and the Isle of Wight Observer.
