I am just back from a fabulous weeks holiday in Provence. This was my first trip to France after many years of putting it off.
Our first port of call was the beautiful village of Lourmarin, which in is Provence. One morning while my wife Josephine was on her way back from the bakery, she spotted a lovely Irish Terrier being walked in her direction. She addressed the lovely lady in her broken French and discovered that she was in fact from New Zealand, and found out that she was married to an Irish Man from Mallow Co. Cork, and that they had been living in France for many years and were now based in Lacoste.
Shortly afterwards we both went in search of the Irish Terrier, and as the village was so small we quickly found him. Caron then called her husband Finn and we all met for a coffee in the village square.
It transpired that he was a writer and had recently self published the book “Two Suitcases & A Dog”
I read the first four chapters of the signed copy in Marseille airport, on our reluctant journey home.
The story is about two dog lovers, trying to return from New Zealand to Ireland, that would risk just about everything in order to save their beloved Fox Terrier, (Their Dog at that Time) from having to go into quarantine
I can safely say at this stage that it is going to be a fantastic read, and would highly recommend it to anybody, especially us dog lovers.
