Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools

gerardcarey · Jan 7, 2019

The Kindle version. Free today from Amazon (I suspect only US registered folk)
https://www.amazon.com.au/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003N3UZHY/ozbargain-22?tag=casaivar02-20

I enjoyed a quick squiz, and the first recipe (they are scattered throughout the book) at least appears to be at the level of this hopeless, yet ever hopeful, cook.

Product Description
**Wall Street Journal Top 10 bestseller**
**New York Times bestselling author**
If Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny mountain village in Andalucía would REALLY be like, they might have hesitated...
They have no idea of the culture shock in store. No idea they'll become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. No idea they'll help capture a vulture or be rescued by a mule.
Will they stay, or return to the relative sanity of England?
Includes Spanish recipes donated by the village ladies and link to FREE photo book.

Regards
Gerard

I'm glad you spotted this, Gerard. Her books are a quick, light look at life in a village near the Camino Mozarabe. We cycled by it on our trip through the Alpujarra last fall and put some photos in our journal (look for El Marchal de Antón López, near the bottom of the page). She's written several sequels as well.

Quite disappointing......Kindle thanked this Kiwi for her purchase - but it is failing to appear in my library so maybe there's some cross-the-ditch joke going on. That's not the disappointing bit. THAT would be the fact that I thought @gerardcarey had another story up and he didn't!

Downloaded, thanks!
I clicked on the link, and the site saw that I’m not in Australia. It gave me another link, to continue to the .com site, which I did, and then downloaded for free from there.

Searching the Amazon.co.uk site offers this ebook for free at the current time.

I must be impatient. According to my Amazon account I bought it three times yesterday;-) Still no sign in my Kindle app though. However, today they are busy recommending I also buy Two Old Fools and and Two Old Fools in Spain Again....I'm not fool enough to be taken in by that.
Still disappointing...especially as everyone has scarpered off to watch the cricket at Grandpa's house and I'm all alone with a sunny afternoon stretched out before me - perfect for camino reading.

Hi Rachael!
Sure it's not in your Kindle library?
Sometimes, not always, I have to go into my Amazon account, then into the library section of that account, then give direction to download the book to a specific device.
This presumes of course that the purchase has been successfull.
Hope this helps.

Happy New year to you and yours,
Gerard

Hope you have managed to be successful by this time. I had a dreadful rigmarole this morning trying to get things sorted, but finally got the e-book. As usual, it was all due to a silly mistake I made.

Thanks, Gerard, for the link.

Mine didn't download until I clicked on the option to read it in the Kindle app. Then it started downloading right away.

My address is in Canada, which is a bit of a ways away from Australia and New Zealand, and it was free for me.

I'm in South Africa and it worked OK for me too.

I just paid $1.15 to get it off of the amazon.com site. Still seems like a steal.

Hi all, I’m starting my Camino Frances on May 12. I’ve booked my first night in SJPDP, but I’m starting to worry I need to book more. My plan was to take it day by day and just turn up, but lots...

Hello all. Here to give a brief account of my (and many others) first day on the Camino on May 1. The trip to Roncesvalles was tough. I went Valcarlos route because napoleon was very ill advised...

Seems to be a lot of people posting about stuff they lost on the Camino recently. I managed to leave a nice new-ish polo shirt somewhere drying and didn't notice for over a week. I hope someone...

Did you meet Bjørn Krohn? Died aged 48 in an albergue, I don't know where, tuesday 21th. I didn't know this until now.

falconbrother · Wednesday at 10:58 PM

I am wondering how you disconnect, in part, from the world. I have a couple of reasons that I need to be accessible but, I don't want to be constantly connected on this journey. Ideas?
