... Digging deeper: more Waterside stories ...

Continuing with the articles written for the Herald magazine, "Digging deeper" is a follow-up to "Digging up the past", and features 30 tales of historical events, family connections, and personal recollections of life around Fawley and the Waterside villages; it was published in November 2024. A third volume of tales will be published around mid-2026, just as soon as I've written them all.

As with Digging up the past", the original stories are available on the Herald website, although the versions in the book are extended with more in-depth information and images.
