A well worth while buy. Crazy English 2 - Intermediate - Upper-intermediate. Crazy English 2 - Intermediate - Upper-intermediate is the first book in the second series. Whereas the first series introduced bizarre and typically English, this one explains all about everyday life such as finding accommodation, going to the doctor and how to greet a neighbour in the lift. Crazy English 2 dispels this myth and gives an honest account of modern British life but still has lots of fun along the way covering English humour, drinking and hangovers, mealtimes and motoring.

It follows the effective word text and question format of the first series and is ideal for students and teachers alike. The A - Z of Vegetable Healing.

Writing is so much part of the Sandford family way of life that even the cat wanted to get in on the act. After blogging for a while, Harvey the Cat decided to go the whole hog and release his first collection of poems. Harvey has a great understanding of poetry- for a cat ; p Seriuosly. This Poet really understands what it must be like to be a cat.

I loved the addition of the pictures. I bet I would love Harvey the Cat ;D. Praski's Guide to Warsaw Parks and Monuments. Warsaw is vastly underrated, perhaps undersold as a tourist destination and is blessed with an abundance of very beautiful parks. There are also many interesting monuments and sculptures. It takes you on a unique and inviting travel experience. Algarve - Medronho Story. It is sold commercially but in the hidden folds of the eucalyptus blanketed foothills of Monchique, the old, time honoured traditions of distilling the clandestine spirit form the Arbutus Unedo Tree remains, or did up to the end of the last century.

This is a unique account of those valley secrets from someone who has lived amongst the old time hill people. Even when they lived on the land full time it was a difficult job to keep the area looking tidy and well kept. When I use the word, land, I don't mean acres and acres of beautifully tilled fields or manicured lawns with colourful borders.

This 8 hectares of land is arid, rocky and a nightmare to look after. Part of the land is situated half way up a mountain and the other half is in terraces that have been cut out of the earth. The transformation of the land in the beginning was challenging to say the least and took many long days and nights digging and cutting out terraces, making stone walls, cutting back orange and lemon trees.

Some of the work was carried out by hand using a humble implement called an enchada, which is the Portuguese name for a kind of long handled hoe. The more difficult areas had to be cleared by using motorised technology such as a bulldozer and JCB. In this part of the Algarve the mountainous valleys start to heat up after lunch time and do reach high temperatures in the mid-afternoon making work impossible. The only thing to do at this time is to sit in the shade and relax.

Work can commence after 6pm when the sun goes down behind the clouds. However, there is one part of the land that my in-laws have never really had to maintain, a huge area which leads from the house up to the top of the mountain. In November and December the mountain turns into a cloud of white bell-shaped flowers, sometimes turning pale pink and is very pretty to look at.

When visitors come to the land they are always amazed by the whiteness of the mountain and the buzzing noise made by the swarms of bees that pollinate the flowers. These flowers belong to the Arbutus Unedo Tree, otherwise known as strawberry tree or as we call it the Medronho tree. However, I changed my view when learning Polish and the teacher introduced me to some Polish animal idioms such as dumny jak paw - which in English, means as proud as a peacock.

I learnt it straight away and remembered it without revision.

I then revised my opinion of the usefulness of idioms and decided to put some together in a book. We also have a regular idiom blog that you might like.

A recipe is included for the reader to try. The Catalan fish soup also tempts me but that may have to wait till we are somewhere with cheaper seafood that where we live. We move from soups to vegetables where you find a recipe a bit like ratatouille called Samfaina which is actually pretty similar to my adapted versions of that same dish.

I also like and have cooked the Catalan broad bean recipe which is delicious. Also in here you will find a recipe for Allioli sauce which is really delicious but you have to be careful not to over do it as my son discovered when we were in Mallorca once and he was quite sick! Moving on to fish we find that like the Portuguese they like Bacalla or salt cod which I can take or leave personally.

My use for salt cod is in Jamaican food and salt fish and ackee. I eat just a tiny amount and hate the smell when it is cooking. Grains used in this area include rice which is a round sticky rice like in risotto. The Spanish of course have pella and this region has their own version Paella Parellada which is a mix of bonelses meat and peeled prawns, mussels with no shell and pieces of fish with no bones.

A recipe is included if you fancy trying your own paella.

As well as rice, bread and pasta are popular and many every day dishes have pasta or include bread. Churros dipped in hot chocolate is my special Spanish breakfast at a cafe and churros are from this region. There is a recipe for Creme Catalana and it is very good and not as hard as you might imagine.

Once again this is a handy little guide and I love the little dictionary to help when eating out.
