She wrote a series of books about her life there e.g. ‘The Hills is Alive’, ‘The Sea for Breakfast’, ‘A rope – in case’ etc.<br /><br />I’ve read most of her books and they caught my imagination as much for the quirkiness and self sufficiency of the locals as their ability to find a use for virtually anything.<br /><br />You might find parallels with your new life and adventures :-)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418497274946318891noreply@blogger.com
