Before Puffin is a new free digital book. The two chapters were written in the 1950s by Jocelyn Greenway, and illustrated by her husband Robert. 'Home Thoughts From The Broads' tells of two sailing trips on The Broads in 1949 and 1950. In 1951 the family moved to Parkstone in Dorset and here they first bought a 14-ft Lymington Pram called Tercia. 'Bivouacing In The Dinghy' tells of their two week adventure sailing in the Solent. By their own admission they had a lot to learn and they had a near catastrophe right at the end of the holiday.

An actual book (title to be decided) is planned to incorporate the chapters from 'Before Puffin' plus the story from 1939 with war imminent Jocelyn with her future husband Robert and two friends went mountain walking in Norway.  It will also include the family's skiing in Austria in the 1950s, and how in 1958 Robert, Jocelyn and their three children travelled 2000 miles across the Alps on Lambretta scooters. s
