  	Hi!<br/><br/>'Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools' was awarded the HarperCollins Authonomy 'Gold Star' and is the story of our life in a tiny, remote Spanish mountain village. Somehow we became reluctant chicken farmers and ended up owning the most dangerous cockerel in Spain.<br/><br/>Described as 'James Herriot meets Driving over Lemons', HarperCollins wrote: ‘laugh-out-loud funny...especially the Spanish women heckling over eggs from “The English”...hilarious...engaging...the interspersion of recipes is charming’.<br/><br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/XkMrv">Amazon UK link to Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools</a><br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/3EZuEz">Amazon USA link to Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools</a><br/><br/>Thanks!<br/><br/>Victoria Twead<br/><br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.victoriatwead.com">Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools</a><br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/victoriatwead"><img src="http://www.twitterbuttons.com/images/ex/twit11.gif" width="160" height="38" class="escapedImg"/></a>

<span id="freeTextreview_rating74487351" style="display:none" class="reviewText">If you're looking to experience sunny Spain, and maybe even life in a tiny village tucked in the Alpujarra Mountains, and without leaving home, then <em>Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools</em> is for you.<br/><br/>Approaching retirement, Vicky and her husband, Joe, one day decide to pack up their bags and leave their comfortable Sussex, England home and settle in the village El Hoya, Spain. It is not long before they come to learn village life is full of surprises and mishaps, with hilarious culture clashes at every turn. When Vicky and Joe unintentionally find themselves chicken farmers, Vicky says, <em>&quot;Oh, please! Our Spanish neighbours already thought we were insane, sitting on the yellow sofa gazing at our flock, letting them hop onto our laps, talking to them.&quot;</em><br/><br/>Whether saved by a mule or sitting at a party table in the middle of the road celebrating a neighbour's birthday (and blocking traffic), <em>Chickens ...</em> not only paints a warm, funny and colourful picture of rural Spain, but also tells of how two zany Brits came to fit right in. Light-hearted and full of sunshine. A thoroughly enjoyable read.<a href="#" onclick="Element.hide('freeTextreview_rating74487351'); Element.show('freeTextContainerreview_rating74487351'); return false;">(less)</a></span>

    			  This book will revolutionise relationships and take marriages to a new level!  I recommend this book not only to those that need to fix their relationship, but to those who want to invest in a long successful future together.   Brett R. Williams writes in a way that connects with the readers as he delivers his message.  His candid revelations about his own relationship bring a tender authenticity to his writing.   Williams even provides practical exercises to help put any relationship back on track.   If you only read one relationship book, this should be it!
