Mr Gandy's Grand Tour
3 journalers for this copy...
Synopsis:
Timothy Gandy has kept his lifetime's ambition secret for forty years.
Now, suddenly (if tragically) released from the hen-pecked tedium of his ordinary existence, he is unexpectedly free to realise his dreams.
He will embark on a Grand Tour of Europe, following in the footsteps of the aristocrats of the eighteenth century.
He anticipates high art, culture and pleasant weather. He never expected to encounter new friendships - and possibly even love - along the way.
It seems that Mr Gandy has embarked on the journey of a lifetime...

Enjoyable adventure and quick read. Took me back to when I visited France in 1997, the memories are mostly faded now but the Palace of Versailles and looking down from the top of the Eiffel Tower were my favourites. I haven't been to Italy but I could imagine most places he goes to from films or travel shows I've watched. One of my favourite Alan Titchmarsh books.
