A Racehorse called Spirit of Springbok

Once upon a time, SM Thornton (a local grandparent and writer), started writing up the favourite bed-time stories of her (then) three-year-old grandson. The Giant of Jiggery Pokery and his Amazing Seven League Boots. And now, Book Two, A Racehorse called Spirit of Springbok.

Grandson is now a strapping 16-year-old and although not wanting bedtime stories any longer, can still remember the fun of an hourlong bath, learning new songs in the bath and the bed and story routine.

Writing the stories is the best bit, says our writer, but the self-publishing for the first few times is hard work.

Anyway, a clutch of grandchildren followed and the best stories, often repeated, made their way into a series of 7 books for children aged 5 and upwards. Two of these have now been published on Amazon. There are lots of snippets to keep the older reader amused as well as any number of small children, including maths, languages, real hospital operations and horsy information, as well as adventures and a bit of magic, all packed into over 100 pages per book and including many short chapters.

At the end there are quizzes and lots of interesting information as well as a cast list. Both books are available on Amazon, click here to see the first of seven children’s books. A Racehorse called Spirit of Springbok is available on https://amzn.to/34UDi7B. The author will be reading both books at the Library on 5 March — see advert page 4.

Tres Corazones comes out of its Spanish siesta

After closing its doors late last year, there has been much speculation amongst Wendover residents and beyond as to what’s happening with Tres Corazones and when those doors will open once again.

We are excited to share that, following a small siesta, the restaurant is back with a new Management Team (Andy and Selena) and is looking forward to welcoming its customers to wine and dine once again from Thursday 3 March.

Bringing a fresh new menu with traditional tapas dishes as well as some new dishes developed by our experienced chefs, our favourite happy hour and Sunday openings with a Spanish twist on a Sunday roast, 2022 is set to be a great year for the newly-named restaurant, Tres Corazones Tapas and Grill. The restaurant has been freshened up for its Spring awakening.

Bookings are open on our website, and for Mother’s Day bookings all mums will receive a free glass of Cava with their meal.

We look forward to seeing you all for tapas, grills and cocktails in March!
