Bill Wyman's TreasureIslands, Britain's History Uncovered (co-written by Bill Wyman and Richard Havers) is a most excellent book.
Bill Wyman, rock musician, somewhat controversial man-about-town and history buff? Everyone has a dark secret in their lives. And Bill Wyman's is that he is a closet metal detectorist. Well, not so much closet, now he has written this book!
Wyman relates how he bough his first metal detector in 1991, after a trying period in his life, and then spent many happy hours and days tramping round the fields surrounding his home in rural Suffolk. Always with the permission of the farmer, of course.
Why did he take up this hobby? He relates that some men were working in the garden of his house found a 16th century water jug as they were digging. Wyman himself found a small pewter bowl in his rose garden ...
Everyone dreams of finding treasure some time in their life; the anticipation, the adventure, notoriety and boundless wealth. This common dream has inspired films for centuries including TreasureIsland, Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones, to name but a few. National Treasure, released in the UK in December 2004, is the latest to hit the big screen.

In October it is very hot there but there is the occasional downpour which tends to be very heavy. However, the rain does not last long and within half an hour everything is dry again.
We stayed at a hotel called the Spanish Bay Reef which was excellent and is situatied at the north end of the island. The food was really good and they also laid on barbecues in the evenings on the beach. I would recommend avoiding staying at any of the hotels along seven mile beach. These hotels also cater for passengers visiting from the huge cruise liners that moor just off the island about 3 times ...
