Product Information

Perfect for a fun family day out, Lammas Land Pool is destined to be very popular this year so make sure to head down as soon as you can and have a great summer in Cambridge. Not just battles,' said Bill with a snort. 'Most of us don't get mixed up with battles, do we? Anything. Everything.' The property is just a short walk away from the local amenities, including several lovely restaurants of varying cuisines. The property is also close to several great schools and is within walking distance from train (Banstead and Epsom Downs) and bus links making it convenient for anyone needing to commute for work. It is 10 minute drive to Ewell West which is on the main rail line into Waterloo. The house is close to Epsom town centre and Banstead village, both around a 5-minute drive away which offer a fantastic range of shops, restaurants, pubs and gyms keeping you entertained throughout the day. There are several country walks, parks and the famous Epsom Downs Racecourse close by which is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor leisure on their doorstep.

The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about The Driftway, Sheringham, NR26 8LD is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021.Sadly, for me, it was the shadows of the past, the "messages that cut through time like it wasn't there", that didn't hold me. Lively is a very adept author, and she manages the clunkiness of changing POV's and time periods with the required dexterity. But this switching only really works, I feel, if you are fully engrossed in each of those points of view / side stories. And, amazingly, I just wasn't.

This combination of the slow, easy journey, and glimpses into others’ lives begins to affect Paul’s view of his own troubles. His Dad’s new wife Christine isn’t the monster he thinks of her as — she’s evidently making every effort to connect with her new step-children — it’s just that Paul resents her sudden presence in his life too much to let himself see it. But as Old Bill says, one of the messages of the Driftway is:Located closer than expected to the town centre, this lovely pool with shallow, toddler friendly paddling pool and large playground is the perfect summer getaway inside Cambridge. It is located right near the Fitzwilliam Museum and Cambridge University's Newnham College. Train Services: Oxford is well-connected to other major cities in the UK via its railway station. The Oxford Railway Station provides regular services to London Paddington, Birmingham, Manchester, and other significant cities. This makes it convenient for students and residents to explore other parts of the country or commute to nearby cities. CURRENT ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE RATING: C A full copy of the EPC is available at the office if required. Of course, while the basic outline of the story was feasible when this book was published in the early 1970s, it could hardly happen today, for children suddenly disappearing would result in frantic parents, police and social services fearing the worst and taking immediate action to find them. And it is unlikely that a good-natured elderly man travelling alone would dare give two children a lift along the way for fear of what he might be accused of later. For this reason, the 1970s environment The Driftway describes is as much a piece of history as the other more distant happenings that the road reveals to Paul.

Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):

I've been like someone with a bad cold, all kind of shut up inside myself, not being able to hear other people. Just shouting out at them sometimes. I feel that every single U.S. citizen (and perhaps, everyone else, too) needs desperately to meditate on these excerpts, in this time of fervent politics - no one's really considering the other individual. They're so convinced they know that 'person' already (and their own superiority - I could have included an excerpt about that, too, from Paul's unorthodox education on the Driftway) without even bothering to listen to them, really seek to understand. This is how wars start...
