Alison has been studying It By no means Rains…However It Paws by Jacqueline Lambert.
I selected to learn this e book as a result of we’re planning to purchase a campervan within the subsequent few years once we retire and journey with our 4 canines – so this gave the impression of an excellent option to discover out what the fact of that dream is likely to be.
And it didn’t disappoint. The e book is filled with the ups and downs of a life on the street, and doesn’t shrink back from telling it like it’s – there are issues and mishaps galore, and life isn’t at all times a cushty idyll.
However regardless of the usually horrible climate, the monetary worries, the generally seemingly insurmountable issues brought on by ridiculous politics, the real love that Jackie and Mark have for his or her life and their canines shines via.
There are fantastic descriptions of wonderful countryside, and a few fascinating historical past too, together with some very entertaining anecdotes. This can be a very light-hearted and pleasurable learn.
And it definitely hasn’t put me off my dream!
