The school was doing a series of talks by different children’s authors and Nigel arranged for JK Rowling to be one of these. She came in on 17th March 1998, when I was 9, and spoke to us about The Philosopher’s Stone. She read an excerpt from it and we were all hooked. My mum had bought me the book prior to JK Rowling’s visit, therefore I was able to get it signed and meet the author. I adored all the books in the series and devoured each one as soon as they were released. It was a big part of my childhood and I hope this book goes to someone who will treasure it and enjoy the magical world it transports you to.'

Freeman, John George. Holiday Rambles: Scotland, 1876, South Wales, 1877. Manuscript travel journal, pp. 200 (both sides of 100 leaves), copiously filled with an attractive handwritten script in black ink, embellished with very fine, charming pen & ink illustrations including architectural & topographical views and homorous cartoons. Small quarto, contemporary crushed morocco lettered in gilt, all edges gilt, featuring 62 ink vignette illustrations, including two manuscript maps, plus decorated titles for the two sections, headings in blue ink, and floral dividers. The humorous style is reminiscent of Three Men in a Boat and The Diary of a Nobody, though it pre-dates both of these famous works. The author's dry wit is expertly delivered in his erudite prose. He describes travelling on steamers and trains, the difficulty of sleeping, the exploits of eccentric or drunken passengers, long excursions on foot, hotels, food, scenery, weather. The places visited include Gravesend; Edinburgh; Stirling; numerous towns & landmarks in the Scottish Highlands; Chepstow; Symonds Yat; Ross-on-Wye; Hereford; Hay-on-Wye; Builth Wells; Aberedw; Newbridge; Doldowlod; Ponterwyd; Aberystwyth; Newport. The work includes a loosely-inserted manuscript leaf, 'Please not to lend this book to children & keep it clean. John George Freeman, 134 Regent St, London. Should this book be lost the finder is requested to bring it to the above address when he will be rewarded.' Contents well-preserved, clean, bright, some pale spotting to endleaves, binding worn with loss to morocco spine. Extracts:'Usually I manage to go to sleep almost immediately, but then our house at Regent St is a stationary one, and I did not seem to take kindly to the continued motion of the boat...to my surprise I found two ladies and four gentlemen had made themselves beds and intended to pass the night in the open air, the latter were lying on their backs and singing "Hold the Fort" with not a very charming effect.' 'On nearing our destination, a very stout individual (who must have weighed quite sixteen stone) accosted us, and desired to know "why we wore those white things on our heads?" On being told it was to protect them from the sun's rays he seemed to think it was a splendid idea, saying it was quite time he did something in that direction, as he had suffered very much from the late extreme heat (he was about 60 years of age, and walking about without any coat): he appealed to one of his countrymen as to the utility of the invention, but this gentleman was of a taciturn disposition and declined to pass an opinion on the subject, still if the reader should at any time happen to be passing near Buchlyvie and see a very obese individual wearing a puggaree, he will of course at once know how to account for so curious a sight.''5.30am. I was awakened by a tremendous noise, and soon became aware it was caused, not by the descent of the top of our bedstead, but by a neighbouring bell which was loudly pealing to warn all "early birds" that the "worms" had already began to take their morning walks, or in other words that it was time to get up.''In Princes Street are a number of shoe-blacks, two of whom we engaged to polish our boots, and were rather surprised at their demand of two pence per pair for their labour, on our saying the London charge was only half that amount, they retorted no Shoe-black Society existed here, so they fixed their own tariff.''Having seated ourselves in the train, after the usual delay, it started off with a tremendous jerk which caused most of the passengers to make motions as if they wished to visit the opposite end of the carriage...[one passenger] said that when the company had sufficient money they would use horses instead of the present engine, and so be able to proceed at a reasonable speed.''The man who was so intoxicated last night now made an attempt to perform his toilet, and to my astonishment endeavoured to shave, what with the motion of the vessel and the equally unsteady movements of his hand it is a puzzle to me how he accomplished this feat without cutting his face.''The intoxicated passenger once more appeared on deck and declared he had lost his watch, this was rather unpleasant for those who had slept near him, though of course no one could tell but that he had thrown it overboard during the night...he brought his holiday to a fitting termination by confessing he had not enough money to pay his bill.''The name of this drunkard deserves to be recorded...should the reader ever come in contact with Mr Trotter, hosier, of 20 Newgate Street he will do well to avoid his company.''After a very uncomfortable night's rest which was disturbed by a donkey, cock, and cat, - doubtless they were anticipating the enjoyments of the coming bank holiday - we rose.''A young lady was trying to sing songs to a pianoforte accompaniment, at first it was endurable but afterwards she attempted something much beyond her capability and was evidently "feeling" for the notes, I suppose my face indicated the agony I endured as the question was asked "Do you object to the music (?) Sir?" to this I replied it was rather difficult to write at the same time (which I was trying to do).'The beautifully illustrated diaries of John George Freeman - who travelled across Britain during the 1870s with his brothers, Charles and Joseph - formed the basis for Three Men and a Bradshaw: An Original Victorian Travel Journal, edited by Ronnie Scott [Random House, 2015], which is described as, 'an enchanting description of a distant but nonetheless recognisable Britain which blends together the singularly English wit of Jerome K. Jerome and the Pooterish pathos of the Grossmith brothers' most famous comic creation.'

1992 Nissan Skyline R32 GTSTReg. no. K995 SWPChassis no. HCR32-286424Engine no. TBCTransmission: ManualMileage: 158,000kmsMOT: August 2023 The R32 was really the generation that introduced the Skyline to the rest of the world; the GTR variant was so dominant racing in Australia it was banned from their popular supercar championship. The RB straight six turbo engine is often described as one of the best Japanese engines of all time offering a great balance of torque and power as well as being vastly tuneable. The GTST 2WD variant featured the RB20DET, the 2-litre turbo version of this engine with an initial power output of around 220bhp. The Skylines featured a number of ‘techy’ features including its rear steer HICAS system and viscous LSD on all turbo models. Production ran from 1989 – 1994 with around 300,000 units produced over the full model range.This eye catching R32 GTST was imported to the UK in April 2008 with a vast array of modifications. It has been with its current owner since 2019 and has been dry stored in that time with lack of use being the reason for sale. The engine was rebuilt in 2012 along with a fresh clutch kit. Power has been increased from 220bhp to around 300bhp with dyno printout and mapping completed at Horsham Developments. Engine modifications include an R33 GTR Turbo, 444cc injectors, Magic intake front facing plenum, tubular exhaust manifold, Greddy boost controller, Greddy dump valve, AEM FRP and Mishimoto Intercooler. A larger aluminium radiator has been fitted with clutch fan and the battery has been moved to the rear of the car for weight balance.The handling has been improved using HSD coilovers, Kazz 1.5 way LSD, HICAS lockout bar with complete Driftworks adjustable arms front and rear. To improve stopping, a K Sport big brake kit has been fitted on the front with floating discs, whilst the rear is fitted with larger R33 Skyline calipers. The interior features a full roll cage with additional bars, Corbeau Clubman bucket seats and harnesses, Nismo gear knob, Nardi steering wheel and various aftermarket gauges to keep an eye on what is going on under the bonnet. The car is painted in the Ford yellow with arch extensions front and rear, Nismo front bumper ducts and 17” staggered Volks rays wheels which measure 12” wide on the rear in three piece and 9” wide on the front which are two piece wrapped in track focused tyres. A great Japanese import with all the possible additions you need to enjoy the car on track or in competitions such as sprinting or hill climbing or drifting. The sale includes a current V5 document as well as parts and servicing invoices since it has been in the UK. The V5 currently describes the car as black so this may need to be changed on the logbook under new ownership.Estimate: £14,000 – 16,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.
