Welcome to Martin and
Judy Farncombe's
web site

We are an active couple with many shared and individual interests. We are going to let you join us in them through exploring our page.

The Garden page has illustrated articles on gardens Judy has visited. She is working on getting these articles published in the press and holds the copyright for all the text and the photographs published here, please do not reproduce any of the items without asking permission.

The most recent article is Orchid Daze, a report on a special orchid lecture and display held at RHS garden at Wisley, Surrey in January 2000. There are many beautiful pictures of orchids to look at. Added March 2000.

This section has illustrated articles on ghosts. Judy belongs to an Internet discussion group on ghosts and often publishes her ghostly articles there. Some of the articles (minus the illustrations) can be found on other sites on the Internet; however, Judy retains the copyright for all her original writings. This page is often changed so it is worth checking it out from time to time.

The most recently added stories are 'Ghost Quest in a haunted UK Inn' and 'Echoes from Civil War Ghosts', added to this site in February 2007. Originally both written for www.psychic-tymes.com.

The Mountain climbing page has illustrations and articles about how Martin loves to dice with death in the snowy wastes. Going up mountains in winter is his idea of fun. Join him and his brother (and climbing partner) in tales of mountains he has known. There are also links to useful websites on this subject.

There is a new piece (Oct 2000) on Via Ferrata in the Eastern Dolomites. You'll also find an article on ice climbing in the Ecrins Massif in the French Alps.

Martin and Judy scuba dive together. They developed new skills as they got older so as to not get bored on holiday. Here you can join them in tales of dives done, fishes they have seen, and wrecks explored. These articles will change from time to time, usually after a dive holiday. The links will take you to where they dived, they will give you more information if you are planning a holiday of your own.

The current articles are on diving in the Maldives, can or should asthmatics be allowed to dive, and Manta Rays.
