Hi Rob!

I'm nearing the end of "Spanish Steps" and it's a great, really funny book.

We went to Blackpool yesterday and the children enjoyed a ride on the donkies (reminded me of a joke, but not really the place for it here).

It was great to get up close to the donkies and I had a lovely time stroking their noses and patting them!

As I read the book I developed a great affection for Shinto and his own personal character.

The book was a wee bit difficult to get into, I must admit, but was well worth the perseverance. Tim Moore is an excellent writer who always sees the funny side of things and sends himself up in a hilarious way.

His descriptions of the walk and the people he meets along the way are great.

I will be sad to finish it.

Jane

I just managed to finnish Spanish Steps a few days ago. Normally I believe that life is too short to waste it struggling through a book. had it not been for the fact that I really have a wish to walk this route I would have put it along with the other books that for some reason or another I've lost interest in. I soldiered on and it did improve, in fact by the last 100 pages it regained for me something of the promise to be found in the first chapter.
One day i will re read this book and I hope that I'll enjoy it more than I have just done.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Jane.
I'm now inspired to pick up another one of the book in my unfinnished pile and try to get back into it.
Take care.

Rob

Read Spanish Steps a few months ago. Didn't enjoy it as much as French Revolutions or Continental Drifter, which I'd heartily recommend.
