About the Author
Melanie has loved writing since she was big enough to hold a pencil. The advent of the blog gave her an outlet for her creativity and somewhere to tell the rather plentiful funny stories about her life and the many adventures she has had. Parts of her blog about her life in France were reprinted in the 'Femail' section of the Daily Mail in 2009.
She is a serial mover, having now moved over twenty times in her life including spells in Bahrain, Ireland, Cyprus, Portugal and most recently, France, where she spent five years trying to understand the intricacies of the French bureaucratic system – and largely failing. After a career that included magazine publishing, Arts funding, celebrity PR, product placement and a brief stint as an air stewardess, she now lives in Wiltshire where she is an expert on the location of any cow in the county (and sheep and pigs too).
Melanie raises Orpington hens, has two amazing children, a lovely husband, a deaf cat with odd-coloured eyes, his very needy brother and the world's stupidest Lurcher puppy.
