Love and Deadly Nightshade: and Other Stories from liquidation Life by Whieldon, Tony NEUF

Twenty three stories, each one a window in time, each one vividly and humorously depicting an episode in one mans journey through eight decades.

Tony Whieldon is an ordinary person who has led an extraordinary life. After completing an engineering apprenticeship with Rolls Royce Cars and working in their development department, he conducted and drove buses in the family business before taking it over, taught maths at secondary school, farmed in Wales, ran a residential centre for group activities in Devon with his wife, Jean, exported old classical records, mainly to Japan, and liquidation practised one-to-one and couples counselling. Nowadays, he sells what remains of his classical record collection on eBay, wonders how on earth he fitted all these diverse activities in, and writes short stories about them.
