What a wonderful opportunity to own your book on the area I will be visiting in October as a first time traveller to Italy from New Zealand. I have been following your blog in anticipation of the wonderful experiences that have been on my bucket list since I was a teenager over 50 years ago. Thank you for the opportunity of a chance to win.

Dear Margie. I would love to win one of your books. I own your first one already. I love following your blog, as our paths run parallel quite often, but you have written your books while I am still blogging when I travel. Keep doing what you are doing. You are my inspiration.
