Plunge head-first into the mad adventures of Jethro Anson Nowsty, our ordinary and modest English hero, an innocent abroad, doing daily battle with the (often) frustrating but (equally) fascinating workings of modern France from 2016 up to the present date. Embracing teaching, motoring trips to Holland and Belgium, Catholic hypocrisy, gilets-jaunes, strikes and stoppages, absurd administrations, vandalised cars, hitchhiking, Swedish drama, a bizarre visitor, Brexit, a crippling bike accident, burn-out and the arrival of COVID-19, ’All glory is fleeting’ is both an amusing and unsettling testament to the folly of human complacency and what it really means to be a Brit abroad.

  • Ghosts
    Antony J Stowers
    ​It’s peculiar to know that some solid objects have been demolished or destroyed and people have died and can no longer be seen or touched apart from through photographs, films or memories.
