South of the farmhouse is the second spot – the Cloud Farm campsite. But the idea is to use it to create a “gateway” to buildings and landscapes that Blackmore did depict, such as the Church of St Mary, where Blackmore’s grandfather was a rector and which the author borrowed for the marriage between Lorna and Ridd. The farmhouse does not appear to feature in the book and may have been named after its publication in honour of it. The farmhouse, which will be home to a refurbished tearoom called The Buttery, is close to a 17th-century bridge and ford. The first is the Lorna Doone farmhouse in the picture-postcard village of Malmsmead, near Lynton.

The bass population, feasting on native fish, grew tremendously over the next ten years before declining abruptly in the early 1970s ( 2). In 1954–55, they introduced some 1,800 largemouth bass from Florida. The history of Lake Yojoa's bass began one evening in United Fruit's social club, where, over drinks, a group of North American employees took up a collection to stock the lake. Like many fishing stories, this one concealed as much as it revealed, including the fact that the origins of Lake Yojoa's bass could be traced to the same source as the billions of bananas that routinely arrived in U.S. ![]() ![]() In 1967, Field and Stream magazine published a story entitled “Fishing in the Banana Republics.” Among the places singled out for adventure sport fishing was Lake Yojoa in Honduras-the banana republic par excellence-where anglers reportedly landed fifteen-pound largemouth bass ( 1). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Though they were once teammates, Adrián views Simeon as a traitor and the number-one name on the New Jersey Predators’ shit list.

The tunnel that Lottie finds doesn't get any mention other than it's use for over hearing a conversation. There is no proper world building, detailed description is non existent, I have no clue what Rosewood is supposed to look like, and the characters are two dimensional. However I didn't expect it to be written in such a juvenile way. I realise that this is a young adults book and I fully expected it to have a youthful style and appeal. This has to be one of the most badly written books I've ever come across. ![]() |
