  It is 1962. Imagine leaving behind all that is familiar and comfortable in Norfolk, to travel to an uncharted posting in Tanganyika, with three small children and all your worldly goods, whilst your friends and relations predict doom and disaster in the ‘Dark Continent’. This is the adventure that Brian Dawtrey and his family embarked upon, armed with a black rolled umbrella with a gold band to fight off primitive savages, and a brand new hoover washing machine.From the moment that they leave England’s shores, you are swept along by their enthusiasm and lust for all that face them – from recalcitrant hippopotami, charging elephants and a life-saving leopard, to welcoming tribes-people and the glorious unspoilt African bush. Unfazed by minor setbacks such as the lack of electricity to drive the Hoover, and confrontations with unwelcoming snakes, the Dawtrey family revel in their new surroundings and the challenges of their new life under the Nyerere regime of Uhuru (Freedom).Witty, evocative and awe-inspiring, this charming book is a testament to the pioneering spirit of those who chose to embrace Africa at a time of great change, and to help its people to capitalise on their natural skills and resources.

  Me & Naughty Fridays is a heartwarming, hilarious, and occasionally chaotic celebration of sisterhood, salad, and the sacred art of showing up—preferably with wine. 
  In this memoir-style collection of Friday night shenanigans, Kerry Anne Boer invites you into the kitchen, onto the couch, and sometimes under the table, where laughter echoes louder than logic and the tassie oak dining table bears witness to everything from meticulous Greek salads to impromptu dance-offs. 
  Born from the beautiful mess of real life—raising kids, rescuing dogs, forgetting sports bras, and dealing with grief in unexpected ways—this is the story of four sisters navigating adulthood with wit, wine, and unwavering loyalty. 
  Told through Kerry Anne’s signature blend of humor, heart, and honesty, Me & Naughty Fridays captures those sacred, slightly unruly moments when everything falls apart and comes together all at once. 
  Because sometimes, healing happens between mouthfuls of tomato and white balsamic dressing… especially when you’ve forgotten dessert but remembered the wine. 
  Perfect for readers who love: 
  ✔️ Real-life stories with soul and sass 
  ✔️ Found-family feels and sisterly chaos 
  ✔️ A good cry, a better laugh, and a bit of both at the same time
