Lola’s boyfriend
No, this is not about Lola Ufarte, the badly behaved young lady in El Hoyo that I’ve told you about in my books. However, Lola the Spoodle (or Cockerpoo) is named after Lola Ufarte. I was looking for a name that would suit a golden, very beautiful, naughty dog. A name that would remind me […]

A random page from Two Old Fools in Turmoil
The bat and the mayor – a random page from Two Old Fools in Turmoil, the next book in the Old Fools series, to be published this year. *fingers crossed* Something black shot out, swooped round the room and clung sootily to a picture frame. “Aaaagh!” I yelled. “It’s a bat!” I’m not at […]

Lola to the rescue!
It’s been crazy hot here in Australia, and we are very lucky because we have a swimming pool. Lola is half cocker spaniel and half poodle, so she’s a water dog. It’s hard to keep her out of the pool. Piggy is her favourite toy, and as you can see, she’s not going to let […]

Forty-eight seconds – new Chickens trailer!
Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools has a brand new trailer! It’s only 48 seconds long, but I hope it captures the essence of the book. All the pictures come from our personal photo album.

A rollercoaster year
I’ve been looking back on 2016, and it’s been a real rollercoaster of a year. Joe arrived in Australia on January 1st so the year began well. House renovations began. Then baby Winter, my new granddaughter, arrived in April. And what a joy she is! Full of smiles and naughtiness, she is an absolute […]

Two baths a day
Now that Lola is one year old, you’d think she’d have outgrown her passion for muddy puddles. Not so. At 2.00pm, Lola had the works: – clip, shampoo, conditioner, blow dry, nails cut, etc. At 4.00pm we went for a walk with Lola’s friend, Baxter. At 4.15pm Lola found a puddle. At 4.30pm Lola went […]

Easy Strawberry Mice
Hard to believe it, but it’s true. My granddaughter Indy will be 4 years old on Monday. Her mum organised a cat theme birthday party, and all the food and activities had something to do with cats. My contribution was strawberry mice, recipe below. Each child was presented with a cat collar (made using a […]

The other young fool
Here’s a date that’s written in red and underlined on our kitchen calendar. September 9th 2016. Why? Because that’s the date when Joe’s memoir, One Young Fool in South Africa, will be launched. It’s already available on Amazon to pre-order. If you pre-order, the ebook will magically float onto your Kindle or reading device on […]

A baby secret
I have a confession. I’ve been keeping a very big secret. The reason for my silence was just that I couldn’t bear it if something went wrong. But, thank heavens, nothing did. Mind you, I’m surprised people didn’t find out. My granddaughter, Indy, is three years old and doesn’t really understand the concept of secrets. […]
