Where The Sun Shines Brightly
by J M Greenway
The second book by Jocelyn Greenway is called "Where The Sun Shines Brightly"
with a sub-title "Some Greenway Family Adventures 1939 to 1987" and
was launched at the beginning of July 2011.
Jocelyn loved adventures and she wrote articles
about them. This book incorporates a story from 1939 with war imminent, Jocelyn with
her future husband Robert and two friends went mountain walking in
Norway. It includes 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.
Then in 1959 the family emigrated to Australia. The
packing up, the voyage itself and the places they visited on the way, plus many
camping trips, and helping out on an island sheep station - Jocelyn
continued to make adventures happen and wrote about them. Many of her published articles
and journals are here in
‘Where The Sun Shines Brightly’, all illustrated by
her husband Robert with his wonderful sketches and
photographs.
Two chapters from "Where The Sun Shines Brightly" are available to be read here. Before
Puffin is a free digital book.
The chapters written in the 1950s by Jocelyn Greenway, and illustrated
by her husband Robert. The chapter called '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.
The second chapter '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 in the
process.
