"Chickens, Mules and two old fools"
Victoria Twead
ISBN 978-1-906558-35-2

A thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining book which had me in fits of laughter. This is a tale of a couple who moved to a tiny Spanish village in the Alpujarra mountains, the challenges they faced and the way the locals welcomed them into the local community. Victoria's description of the chickens and their various escapades made for hilarious reading. I will never look at chickens in the same light again....what wonderful characters! Laughing

I love the delicious Spanish recipes included in the book which gave you a "taste" of Spain, but was especially pleased to see the recipe for Sticky Toffee Pudding! had also been included

Laughing

If you only read one book this year...make it this one! Very Happy
All the best
Carole

hi i am half way through the book although hubby had read it all ready. sorry but i have great difficulties reading for more than 15 mins. but the book is so good you can put it down and not loose the thread of the story.

i have also laughed my self silly and can relate to many things in the book, i presume most expats can as its so typical of the many things that we all seem to go through

Thank you so much, both of you!

If the book made you laugh, then I feel I've done my job!
