Well blimey I cried just reading that so I'm definitely having this book and customs vafa****o ( rude Italian phrase sweary panda taught me). I also laughed - next time I need a procrastination excuse I shall breezily say oh sorry I'd love to but I have to make a shrew. Then I huzzah'd for the house news and Sweden trip and the babe saying Hi Honey. Gorgeous post, beautiful book, congratulations dear Karin 💙

I think you can get it at Blackwell's, who do free international shipping

Frankie Meitou Carboni's avatar

Thanks, unfortunately it isn't the cost of shipping but the added tax and cstoms duty this (Italy) end, which works out at approximately 50% of the price of the book - yhank you Brexit! I have preordered it from Amazon.it

Karin Celestine's avatar

I’m glad they’ve got it. Meant a German customer could get it too, phew.

Karin Celestine's avatar

see if you can get it on Amazon, otherwise send me a message and I'll see if I can sneak you a copy from me personally with customs yuck. And yes do say that! I need to message you a link to the house I want so you can see why I'm eeek and excited. x big hugs to you two and Ringo xxx

I'm quite exhausted with all that, can Bernard pass me a sherry please.

I can't imagine the joy of opening a book you've written, it must be pretty overwhelming. I know the joy of opening a new book I've just bought and it takes me a while of just sitting, looking, stroking, and sniffing before I begin to read.

wow to the house. This was our dream house when we looked at it 47 years ago, but there was another buyer, so we looked around and viewed this and that but nothing really appealed to us. We wanted this one. Then we got a call, the sale had fallen through, did we still want it? 47 years and I still love it, though the view is much reduced in most directions.

I do so hope all goes well with everything you have going on at the moment. Best wishes xx
