It seems like an age since we set out on that fateful day for
our expedition to buy a property in France. But it wasn’t. Our two fat dogs, Sam and Biff, joined me and
my husband, Jack, on a journey that would take us the length and breadth of
France. It was also one that would change our lives forever.
The situations we faced, and adventures we had, were so
extraordinary that I decided to share our experiences. Writing the story was just
one part of the challenge. I needed an illustrator who would be able to bring
the key characters to life. Happily, my search ended quickly when I found
Maggie Raynor.
Originally famed for her skills in creating equine art, she read my
manuscripts, and produced drawings that perfectly matched the words. Her
interpretation of the dogs, their mischievous behaviour, my grumpy-but-lovable
husband – not to mention our car and our surroundings – were just right.
Finally, Fat Dogs and
French Estates Part I was good to go, and I’ll admit it was all a bit daunting.
I am very excited to announce the next instalment of our
incredible exploits, Fat Dogs and French Estates Part III, is good to go.
This time we, and our portly mutts, are involved in adventures of a very
different kind.
