COFFEE WITH THE DUSTMEN
The book is very readable and extremely thorough, revealing an awful lot of information about [Verney] that most of the residents of Farnham who knew him will be totally unaware of.

BIO
Guy has led a peripatetic life since his late thirties. His travels worldwide and life in other countries inspired his love of history, alternative cultures, and his interest in local research. Now settled in Farnham, he is retired, spending time walking and writing. Knowing his love of wandering, folks might question how long he will stay here. The simple answer Guy automatically fires back is “as long as I am happy”.
When asked what the next project in the pipeline is, Guy replied, “I am toying with several ideas. As my health is not so good, I'm not walking anymore, and I might retire to the Isle of Wight, sit in the sunshine and watch the ferries pass.
One thing I do know, I will go wherever the mood takes me.
