Couple split over dog (Rousse)
At last we understood why our long-married friends had separated. When it became obvious that the husband loved the dog more than his wife, she threw the pair of them out.
A Lake District escape (Rousse)
One minute I was lying next to my gorgeous cousin N. The next I was a kidnap victim, crushed into the back of a car heading for the Lake District. A strangely-shaped man, who had obviously raided my rucksack, squashed … Continue reading
