A collection of extracts from the books of the popular travel
writer on France Susie Kelly. In 'Travels With Tinkerbelle, 6,000
Miles Around France In A Mechanical Wreck' the author and her
husband devised a simple plan - to take a tent and the dog and
drive around the perimeter of France. Like many simple plans it
went wrong before it started... In Best Foot Forward, A 500 Mile
Walk Through Hidden France, Susie walks solo from La Rochelle to
Lake Geneva with a tent on her back whilst her Texan friend
Jennifer struggles by on her first ever trip to France, looking
after Susie's smallholding and caring for a menagerie of animals.
In The Valley Of Heaven and Hell - Cycling In The Shadow of Marie
Antoinette, novice cyclist Susie dons unflattering lycra to cycle
the little-known Marne Valley and Champagne regions of France. She
takes the identical route taken by Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI
when they tried to escape from the Revolution, and their journey
back to their executions. In Swallows & Robins, The Guests In
My Garden, Susie stays at home for a change. As the world's worst
housekeeper, running holiday homes wasn't, with hindsight, a
sensible idea. But two collapsing buildings on her land would cost
more to demolish than to restore. Thus she became a seasonal
landlady and, along with the assorted guests, came Ivy into her
life, The Cleaning Lady From Hell. In her memoir, I Wish I Could
Say I Was Sorry..., the setting moves away from French travel to a
childhood in 1950s/60s Africa. With uncompromising honesty and
hints of her usual humour, Susie describes emigrating, from
post-war London in every shade of grey to the technicolour
splendour of Kenya, as part of a dysfunctional family. A US Amazon
Paid Top 100 bestseller.
