Product Description
Product Description
Never believe that life in a tiny Spanish mountain village is predictable. Vicky and Joe have finished fixing up their house and look forward to peaceful days enjoying their retirement. Then the fish van arrives, and instead of delivering fresh fish, disgorges the Ufarte family. The peace of El Hoyo is shattered. In this, the second of the Two Old Fools series, Vicky and Joe are catapulted (and 'cat' is the operative word) into more bizarre situations and scrapes. Surrounded by the same cast of eccentric characters introduced in 'Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools', the two old fools muddle through until they are forced into making a life-changing decision. Packed with badly behaved humans and animals, irreverent humour and sunshine, 'Two Old Fools - Olé!' will make you laugh out loud, while the mouth-watering Spanish recipes will have you reaching for your saucepan. "Andalucía as it's never been done before - a very quirky, funny and enjoyable tale - loved the subtle humour, Olé!" Karen Wheeler, author of 'Tout Sweet: Hanging Up My Heels For A New Life In France.' "I absolutely loved it! Funny, honest and impossible to put down." Justin Aldridge, Eye on Spain

Once again Victoria Twead has enchanted us with a wonderful romp through the life and times of living in the small village of El Hoyo, Spain with her husband Joe.Just like her first book 'Chickens Mules and Two Old Fools' Victoria Twead shares with us funny experiences, beautiful stories, interesting traditions and the trials and tribulations of living in very different country. This time each chapter is laced with relevant photo's, so that you feel that you are there with them during this journey. Like you are part of their lives.
I carried this book on the train with me everyday reading on my commute to and from work - often laughing out loud during my travels.
It was wonderful to once again touch base with quirky characters from the small village of El Hoyo and also to meet new ones. Thoroughly entertaining.
So glad to read at the end of this book that there is more to come in this "Old Fools" series.
5 huge big stars from me.

Just fantastic, Nov 13 2011

I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of this book and I'm so glad I did. I loved it, from start to finish. One of the best books I've read in ages. All very honest and with so much humour. Vicky is a fantastic storyteller and you really do feel like you are living in a remote village in Spain when reading the book.Funny, real and wonderfully written. What more could you ask for? Well don to Vicky on a fantastic sequel.
