My travelling companion and I arrived on the shore of Lake Bled near the Castle Baths in mid-afternoon with plenty of time, we thought, to visit the church and ring the bell. Unless you swim, the only way of getting to the island is by gondola, which normally holds around 16 people.
Gondoliers ferry people to the island from a number of places on the lakeshore and, as we could see a couple of craft near the island, we concluded there was still a good chance of making our visit that day.
I was born in Leicester. I attended school in Yorkshire and University in Liverpool.
I have been to 93 countries and territories including The Balkans and Armenia in 2015, France and Slovakia in 2016, and some of the Greek Islands in 2017.
My sense of humour is distilled from The Goons, Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, and Midsomer Murders.
I love being creative in my writing and I love writing about travelling. My next books are a travel book about Greece and a novel inspired by Brexit.
