THE PERFECT LIFE BY NUALA ELLWOOD – BOOK REVIEW

THE PERFECT LIFE BY NUALA ELLWOOD – BOOK REVIEW

PUBLISHED BY PENGUIN ON 5th AUGUST 2021 We all indulge in a bit of make-believe at times but Vanessa likes to take on different personas as she goes around looking at houses she cannot afford, it’s all a bit of fun and takes her away from the world she lives in.

How hard could it be?  After reading the different recipes I decided to have a try but I didn’t have a demi jon bottle so I got a few litre bottles cleaned and sterilised them.
