ABS Wellness: Apple Pie Shake!!

ABS Wellness: Apple Pie Shake!!: I will be honest, I am not a huge Apple Pie fan when it comes time for BBQ's, Thanksgiving, Christmas and all the fun holidays... BUT I ... Love seafood and eating by the sea or in a great pub.
Sourcing local produce and enjoting great food and drink is one of life's pleasures.

Good wine too and friends make food and wine a pleasure and then with a balance of exercise like walking,swimming and cycling amongst other things we have a pretty good and pleasant lifestyle.
Like collecting Antiques and Collectible and trading a little on Ebay so pretty good fun and even making some money as well as spending it.

I love sports of all kinds and following Andy Murray at the moment at Wimbledon.

Trvel feature as a high priority and in the UK aswell as around the World.been to the Cayman Islands and USA and all over Europe from Spain to Greek Islands so well travelled and spekaing some languages but best of all the Francais and Spanish..Hola!!

Enough for now but call back and read the next offering from Kelvin...Bye for now or Au Revoir

I have been buying very rare books from online-ABEBOOKS for many years and to start with they were books which contained views of a particular city or town in the UK.They were published by a London company and printed in Germany,These books were intended for the new holiday makers and workers who had weekends off and annual holidays.They would purchase a book in the city or town they visited as a keepsake or even a memory of where they came from.They were in concertina form and generally containes 30-40  images of local places of interest and monuments.
In the back of the first book i ever bought online was alist off the 135 books published and listed from A-Z as cities and towns,Strating with Aberdeen and finishing with York.

I have managed to buy around the World 36 of these books and still seek the others but they are indeed very rare and very de;icate due to their age.The books were first published and bought by the public in circa 1880.

I have started to have them scanned and saved to disk professionally by a well known local CallKwik
printing franchise.

This way i can donate the books eventually to the National Archive for posterity.

My first book was Plymouth and i have just had London views completed.

The book being scanned at the present time is THE VIEWS OF WINDOR.

I sent a print of Westminster Cathedral as a wedding present to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and received back a thank-you letter which ws lovely and much appreciated.

Check in soon for the next update.

Prints are available to purchase on Facebook
