| Introduction | I have been keeping a blog about my family’s travels around the world. Last winter, we set off with our three small children to North America and Australasia, funded by selling our entire life in the UK. Gambling the remains of the pot on a new life in the corrupt African tourist resort of Santa Maria, Cape Verde, we rolled the dice. And lost. But we had plenty of fun at the party and it’s not quite time to grab my coat. We have dined with the Italian mafia and sold slush puppies to the President of Cape Verde, but our fondest memories are the everyday highs and lows, here on our little piece of desert island paradise. I have chosen 12 extracts for you to read as a sample of my new book. I hope you like them and I wish you a Happy Christmas. |
| Favorite movies | Sleeping with the Enemy (best chick film ever), Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe 1970's cartoon version, The Wizard of Oz |
| Favorite music | All music from The Saturdays to Scooter to Andrew Lloyd Webber. No jazz. Sorry - very middle of the road. |
| Favorite books | The Hobbit - fantasy and escapism, What Alice Forgot - to make you remember how lucky you are to have a loving family, Eat Pray Love - to help you decide to follow your dreams,any Daphne du Maurier - for romance combined with strong female character leads and Chocolat - the ultimate combo of freedom of spirit and of course my favourite food. |
