Jeff looks at some of his old holiday photos. He's on his way back to the Corfu haunt of his youth, only this time he's fast approaching 40 and beginning to wonder what his purpose is in life. He may not realise it, as he pines for the carefree days when he had confidence and hair, but he's about to embark on a journey of discovery that will bring him the answers he's looking for... and, unbeknown to him, it's all hidden in one of those slightly dog-eared pictures and the orange in the tree above his sunbed.

With subtle wit, great imagination and evocative sentiment, this enchanting tale follows a formative and idealistic period of Billy's life in the late '70s before catching up with him in the present day. It's 1978 and it's a time when Billy experiences his first stirrings of romance and his first taste of bereavement; a time when he takes on a fight for justice that will live with him for the rest of his life; and a time when he discovers that friendship and love defy the boundaries of age. What is the link between the derelict factory and the pristine Austin Seven Swallow under wraps in Ada's garage? Will Ada ever succumb to neighbour Oved's romantic overture? And what is the reward awaiting Billy and Andy for helping out in Ada's garden?

The North Western Road Car Company is just a fading memory now, but for fifty years its red and cream buses served a broad sweep of England's North West from the Cheshire plain to the Pennines, and from Manchester's industrial mills to the threshold of the Potteries. It was known as a friendly company, familiar as a commuter bus in Stockport, or market-day transport in rural Peak Forest, or as a fast express coach to London. Eventually, through no fault of its own, the company found itself in the wrong place at the wrong time and was dismembered to satisfy bureaucrats poring over a map. The name was revived briefly in the 1980s but today the only buses with the proud name 'North Western' on their sides are to be found in museums. This book isn't a history of the company - it's a taste of the days when a North Western timetable could be found in every home in its territory, providing a lifeline and a cheerful wave. Paul Williams has collected a unique set of photos taken between the 1950s and the 1970s from the collection of the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester, to show that North Western's memory is worth saving.
