The second instalment in the Grumpy Middle-Aged Dad Adventures sees our chubby Black Country hero jet off once again to Orlando to experience more expensive pretend happiness. This time, his trusty travelling companion is Teenage Daughter Lottie, who came along partly as celebration for her 18th birthday and partly because she survived meningitis. Oh, and because it was a free holiday. Grumpy Middle-Aged Dad (and Lottie) - More Adventures in Orlando is a bitter sweet tale of their time in the Sunshine State, and captures the madness and chaos of the self-named "happiest place on earth" whilst celebrating the special bond between father and daughter. All proceeds from the sale of this book, apart from the bit that Mr Amazon keeps for himself to run his big expensive warehouses, will be donated to the Meningitis Now charity. They carry out amazing work in the research and prevention of meningitis and offer support to children and families who have been affected by this terrible disease - just like what happened to my Lottie when she was just three weeks old. So once you've stopped reading this, do yourself a favour and add it to the basket in the top right hand corner. Thanks!

"Grumpy Dad Shovels Snow" is the first in the Grumpy Dad children's book series which follow the goings-on in the Terwilliger family, as told through the eyes of four-year-old daughter, Molly. Molly, along with her parents, Tom and Carol, and baby brother Nicky, are a typical family, faced with the typical challenges of any household. As lovable as he is grumpy, Tom's fatherly challenges provide the structure and life lesson of each story, and the ongoing impetus for Molly's attempts to figure out what makes this large, and occasionally ornery occupant of the Terwilliger house, tick. In this first installment, Tom's grumpiness is exacerbated by snow. Molly can't understand why snow would make her dad, or anyone, grumpy. Tom's dealing with the snow, and Molly, leads to a funny, heartwarming story that will delight grown- ups and children alike.

From the number one bestselling author of An Unsuitable Match, Joanna Trollope, and told with all her trademark wit and wisdom.

However, when Gus suffers a stroke and their idyllic Mediterranean life is thrown into upheaval, it’s left to their three grown-up children in London to step in . . . As the children descend on the vineyard, it becomes clear that each has their own idea of how best to handle their mum and dad, as well as the family business.
