From childhood, siblings David Hardie and Diana Townsend loved telling stories.
While still at school, despite being dyslexic, David won a competition to have a play he had written produced by the BBC.
As teenagers, David and Diana helped their father build an animated model of a three-ring circus which was exhibited around the UK. Later, the family bought a derelict school which they transformed into a tourist attraction.
Diana has written a series of memoirs about these years under the title Me, My Family and the Poltergeist.
When the tourist attraction closed, the family started a new business creating Christmas displays for shopping centres as well as hand-sculpting thousands of figures for model villages across the UK.
In more recent years, David and Diana, together with Diana’s husband, Robert Townsend, have produced a number of short films and two feature films.
While David’s children were young, he told them stories of the Dittos, invisible elf-like creatures who live in the seaside town of Dawlish, helping to look after wildlife and clean up after visitors.
Working with Diana, David has now developed these stories into a trilogy of books under the title The Dittos of Dawlish.
A romantic getaway turns into an unexpected adventure when newlyweds Diana and Bob find themselves stranded in North Africa. What should have been a simple trip to Spain becomes a whirlwind journey through the winding streets of Tangiers and the imposing Rock of Gibraltar.
As they navigate unfamiliar cultures, local customs, and bureaucratic nightmares, Diana and Bob's relationship is tested in ways they never imagined. From dodgy omelettes to illicit palace tours, every experience brings new challenges - and new discoveries about each other.
With their return to England seeming increasingly impossible, the couple must rely on quick thinking, good humour, and a dash of gin to find their way home. "Gin in the Rock" is a charming, funny tale of love and misadventure that will transport you to sun-drenched shores and have you laughing out loud.
