Breve biografia
Victoria Twead nagged her long-suffering partner, Joe, into moving from England to Spain in 2004. They settled into a tiny mountain village in Andalucía, became reluctant chicken farmers and ended up owning probably the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. Victoria’s hilarious record of their culture shock and life with the villagers is told in her new book, Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools, awarded the HarperCollins Authonomy Gold Star.

This is a delightful book about a British couple moving to Spain. It is professionally written, but not written by a professional, the difference being that it was believable and very entertaining. most everyone who has lived in a Northern location dreams of moving somewhere warm and sunny and this book details how it is a complicated, and confusing but ultimately rewarding decision.[return]I will definitely be reading the follow-up.

Deciding to earn some money Vicky and Joe leave their village home in Spain to teach in a private American school in Bahrain. The book is interesting for its insights into life in Bahrain and how a fee paying private school there operates. The style of the book is chatty and relaxed as we move through the school year and they settle into an expat life. The Arab spring disrupts their stay and how this affected Bahrain is written about.

I rocketed through the first four books of the "Two old fools" series. Funny, self-deprecating "old fools" and eccentric characters you'd expect to find in a tiny mountain European village. My absolute favourite chapter of this first book is the Equators - laugh out loud in my case.

This memoir reminded me a bit of the James Herriott books which I adore. His books are more charming, but this was good. Maybe 3.5--good enough that I look forward to reading the next in the series.
