These poems are the echoes of a soul that lives a life at one hundred miles and hour always. A soul that has traveled continents and back, overcome heartbreak, experienced the purest of love, is steeped in luck for the family and true friends she has around her and is humbled from the majestic experiences of being a parent. This book was written to be a reminder that there is passion in every corner of life, there are unexpected days of true happiness yet to come and that even the toughest of times do not remain forever. The collection contains varying styles and themes, but the majority aim to read to you a story wrapped in the verses of poem which can relate to each and every heart and mind. You and I may not take the same message from a poem, we may not read it in the same way, yet we will all relate to the words on some level and be catapulted back in time to a memory or in years to come, the words may tiptoe into your thoughts and a smile may threaten to turn up the corners of your lips.

In 2001, fans of the internet were introduced to scanned pages from spoof local newspaper The Framley Examiner. Packed with humdrum and preposterous news stories, classified ads, local business features and headlines that seemed to have been typed while asleep, it skewered the banal madness of small-town existence, perfectly encapsulating the British national character. Framley’s strange yet familiar community – stuffed with its own cast, insane geography and rich local history – struck a chord with those who recognised their own home towns in its reflection. The website was loved and shared by an eager public as well as famous fans from Little Britain, The Simpsons and the Cambridge Centre for Theoretical Cosmology (Professor Stephen Hawking was a Framley enthusiast). Marking the twentieth anniversary of the website's first appearance The Incomplete Framley Examiner combines the pages of the original book, published in 2002, with all the pages published online in the years since and brand new material for a bigger, more luxurious, toilet-proof compendium for the annals of history.
