Cheering for my World Map readers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are the greatest bunch of people, and thank you for dropping by to star on my World Map. (For those of you who don’t know you can find it on my FUN Page)

I love reading the messages- And for those of you who travel for miles to buy a book I really really cheer loud.
And for everyone- it’s just nice to know you’re there- so thank you :-)

And yes, here are some more shots of that beyond fabulous villa-
I’m not envious, Margaret- Of course I’m not.
Much!

Gals of the World Map- these are for you.

How about the view from these sunbeds outside my friends master suite on the top floor…

And just for those of us who live in cities- how about rush hour Menorcan style?

Stay safe.

Love to all
Suexx

This is fabulous


I really don’t know what else to say about my friends’ house other than it is truly fabulous- One of the few times I’m left speechless is when I walk through their front door and see this stunning panorama through a wall of glass windows. It’s just one of the most beautiful views in the world.

The most amazing setting for dinner

Dinner table perfection

Enjoy your day, everyone!

More coming soon…

Congratulations!

To Andy Murray for playing the match of his life last night at Wimbledon!

And how brilliant to be able to draw the roof over Centre Court and turn the lights on- a most wonderful night’s entertainment.

Girls’ night out…

Ready to visit one of the most beautiful villas in the world

How about this view from one of the terraces…

Or this…

And believe it or not, the ‘Wally’ boat pictured below is worth millions of pounds due to the cutting edge technology employed in its construction. The Italian billionaire who owns it has earned his place in my next book for mooring up in the middle of the harbour to watch the sun going down with his girlfriend.

Of such things are Presents made :-)

Join me later in the week for a closer look at the fabulous terrace where we ate dinner that night.

Interval

It’s Wimbledon fortnight so there is only one place to be- and if you can’t be there, the next best place is…

On a sofa squished flat by the Betster- she is more cat than a dog and considers the sofa fair game

I have a new summer office too- with heat, light and power. For the few days here in the UK that are warm enough to sit outside no way I am going to be stuck inside. Bronte country inspires…

Thank you to Julie Bonello and Cataromance-

Susan Stephens has done it again! She’s written a fabulous romance that sparkles with wit, humour, sassiness, intelligence and charm! I defy any woman not to fall for the gorgeous Raffa and his lovable bride, Casey! Funny, warm-hearted, emotional and just brilliant, Sheikh Boss, Hot Desert Nights is one steamy Modern Heat that should be on every romance reader’s keeper-shelf!

Next week it’s on to tall ships and a house, with, I believe, one of the most spectacular views in the world-join me when I go to dinner on the terrace of this very special villa…

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Best

Going… Going…

Some fly in the sky…

Others launch themselves gracefully into the swimming pool from a launch pad on their husband’s hands, a la Dirty Dancing

I, on the other hand, sink like a stone- therefore I do not like being thrown into the swimming pool.

I even at this point- like the conniving heroine I’m writing right now- tried to squeeze out a tear.

And when that didn’t work I tried yelling: Stop! (That’s the polite version)

Which went down like a lead balloon-

And so did I

Taking precautions

James, I know minimus is in charge of the boat, but don’t you think this is taking precautions a little too far?

Don’t get me started, ladies- you know I could pun on this one until the cows come home.

And don’t worry- we’re getting closer to that magical- for you, at least- moment when I get thrown in the pool

;-)

Ab Fab!

You are the captain of my ship?

Yikes!

The ship in question- Okay, you pedants, it’s a boat- or, a water-born caravan, if you’ve read my heroine’s scathing opinion of such craft in, Bought: One island, One bride.

Is this fantasmorgorical creation:
Yep, I didn’t remember to get a shot of it until the sun was going down :-{

But. We ‘ad some fun Ropes? Sails?
Nah- note the crossed legs and relaxed posture!

Frankly, I could just stay here and never come home…

Your pink fizz awaits, Modom:

But, seriously, we had the best fun

Join me tomorrow when I get tipped into the pool

We are sailing…

Okay, I’ll come clean- the kids and DH do the hard stuff with ropes and sails- I’m more your relaxing back with a gin and tonic kind of gal.

Join me next week with my friends Pat and John on their beyond fabulous 50 foot Princess motor launch where I can do just that

But for now it’s the ecologically sound sailing day in pictures…

The gateway to adventure…

The two of us decide to walk through…

Someone else wants to come along… But I think the beach is safer

Safer than… This.

Heading for the open sea…

In good company

So far so good…

You are the captain of my ship (A big ‘Aaaah’, please!)

No one mentioned waves!!!

Back soon with a wilder and yet more leisurely form of ocean-born travel ;-)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Fun in the sun

Wild!

And there’s more to come- secret coves, fabulous boats, tall ships, even more fabulous houses, and yes, the photo you’ve all been waiting to see- Yours Truly being thrown into the swimming pool- Well, it’s a family tradition, so it had to happen sometime ;-)

Here’s your own magical cove- so just settle back and enjoy-

Though you do have to take the trip along with some crazy people

Oh, yes, we’re crackers. :-)

But if that doesn’t worry you, I’m thrilled to welcome you along.
