"A Tale of Two Villages"

First ever book on History of Botley & Curdridge was  launched on 17th November 2007 in the Market Hall.  Copies are available from the Penny Farthing Gallery, Botley Square or direct by post. 

 Stephen Hayes cooks at home 3 or 4 times a week.  He wrote this book from the conviction that life would be better if men cooked more often and better, but existing books tend to be 'too clever' and/or not written in the learning styles of many men.

So he has written to addess an unmet learning need for men, whether in families or living alone, and their teenage sons and nephews as they go off to university or otherwise leave home and try to eat decently on a budget, and perhaps even impress a young lady with their enlightened attitude to the kitchen.
