Ever wondered what it would be like to visit Jordan? See the wonders of the ancient world? Walk in Agatha Christie's footsteps in Petra? Here is the very book that you have wanted. Let us take you on a visit to Jordan, a country steeped in ancient history and wonderous sites that can be visited. Walk with us through Petra, visit Royal Tombs with mysteriously missing bodies, try frankincense. Walk the many steps of Amman, a city built on 19 mountains and visit the Roman forum before joining us on a bus ride to Jerash to see the hippodrome and the Temples of Zeus and Artemis. All from the comfort of your armchair.

Now permanently retired, I am using my time wisely by doing what I did at work and sitting at a computer all day typing.

I retired from work the first time to pursue a dream of travelling. I sold my house and spent eighteen months criss- crossing the world, eventually circumnavigating the globe. I got back homeless and decided to settle down in Carlisle, Cumbria. Came out of retirement to fund my new mortgage and retired again four years later.

I wrote a book about my travels but it came in at over a quarter of a million words so I was told it was far too long so now I write shorter books. Hopefully, dear reader, you will enjoy my meanderings through family stories.
