If you are like me, you are always looking for a book that matches up to your favorites. Mine are The Enchanted April by Elizabeth Von Arnim, Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher, Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave, and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. For movies, I love Under a Tuscan Sun, A Good Year, Shirley Valentine and Leap Year. Sure, I’ve seen Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I love Jane Austen in nearly any form!
I’ve been to England five times and spent those early trips with my parents doing family research about the Wildy family. My grandpa was born in London and my grannie was born in Staffordshire. I’ve inherited an enormous collection of teacups from my mother and father who were born in Canada. I currently live in Seattle surrounded by fresh salmon on the menu, romantic houseboats, extraordinary neighborhood gardens and the best coffee.
