Certainly no sense of fun or whatever on this site when it comes to that specific "guide" or whatever it can be called .

A very good idea to be careful if you like your own presence here .

I love it, I love Lyn's style of writing and sense of fun which comes through so clearly to me.
This is your perfect right. I also find Gallivanter's entertaining and her contributions on FT valuable. This said all is just so "déjâ vu" - no discoveries to be expected - always the same usual beaten tracks. Would love to read the book - sure it will lay around at some property I will stay as does her newsletter. Her kind of writing is very personal and pleasant to read for sure.

Just saw the book on sale for GBP 28 - I am tempted.
