So Wimbledon was in progress, I was in my local bookshop and this novel caught my eye. Its the story of Willy, a low ranking tennis professional on the way up when we first encounter her. She's been playing tennis since aged four and is now...

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

*****

Easy to read, page turner of a novel whose main character is Peter, a bullied teenager, who heads into high school one morning armed and kills ten people. I found many of the characters to be cliched and a bit one dimensional. But despite that the...

The Fish Shop

*****

I did a last-minute race down to The Fish Shop in Union Hall this morning to check it out. It's as good as they say! Great selection of fish, shellfish, gormet seafood products and wine. Well worth travelling to. So my lazy ass didn't get...

Sulmeat.com

Mango Outlet Website

James Nicholson Wine Merchant Online Store

*****

I bought a selection of wines recently from James Nicholson Wines Online as I was bored with the usual selection in my local off licences and supermarkets. I was interested in particular in some Californian, Chilean or New Zealand Pinot Noirs and...

My Favourite Wife by Tony Parsons

*****

Having read and enjoyed “Man and Boy” and “One for my baby”, I was looking forward to reading this latest novel from Tony Parsons. Alas it was a major disappointment. Having just finished it, I am left with a sense of...
