A challenging visual puzzle which will appeal to lovers of logic and deduction brain teasers. Use your mental agility to complete the grids using the train tracks. Puzzles included cover three levels of difficulty, 30 easy, 130 medium, 40 hard. How To Play: A map grid shows two towns, typically A and B. The objective of the puzzle is to lay down tracks to connect the two towns. Numbers around the outside of the grid tell you how many pieces of track are to be placed in each row and column. You can only use straight (horizontal and vertical) and curved (right and left) rails and the track cannot cross over itself. There is something very satisfying in the laying down of tracks. The puzzles are arranged in Easy, Medium and Hard, where difficulty is largely dependent on the size of the map grid (6x6, 8x8 and 10x10).

A joyous collection of life lessons from the UK's favourite vicar! The perfect gift for fans of Kate Bottley and her charm, wit and wisdom.Hello there, come on in. I know what you’re thinking: ‘I’m not religious, so I’m not sure if this is for me’. But the truth is, this book is simply about being human. Believing in something, no matter what it is, gives us hope, and that’s what helps us get through this messy, joyful, unexpected ride we call life. Over the years I’ve sat on plenty of sofas, drunk plenty of (questionable) cups of tea and learned endless lessons from the wonderful people I’ve met. Above all, they have taught me that there is no right way to do things – and that’s OK. In these pages I have shared everything I have learned about how to deal with life’s biggies – like love and death, as well as confidence, conflict and loneliness – in the hope that I can make you feel less alone and arm you with the tools to face the tougher times. Hopefully this book will remind you to pause, appreciate how far you’ve come, savour the precious moments, and enjoy a giggle or two along the way.Love, Kate x'A gorgeous read, it made me cry in a joyous way' Zoe Ball'You can always rely on Kate to bring humour, warmth and cracking anecdotes. This book, unsurprisingly, has shed loads' Steph McGovern

Written and designed by the staff of The Washington Post and illustrated by artist Jan Feindt, The Mueller Report Illustrated: The Obstruction Investigation brings to life the findings of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III in an engaging and illuminating presentation.When it was released on April 18, 2019, Mueller’s report laid out two major conclusions: that Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election had been “sweeping and systematic” and that the evidence did not establish that Trump or his campaign had conspired with the Kremlin. The special counsel left one significant question unanswered: whether the president broke the law by trying to block the probe. However, Mueller unspooled a dramatic narrative of an angry and anxious president trying to control the criminal investigation, even after he knew he was under scrutiny. Deep inside the 448-page report is a fly-on-the-wall account of the inner workings of
