Birthday Book

It's my birthday (I know; how can I have reached the age of 29 already???) and I was delighted to receive Claire Balding’s new autobiography, “My Animals and Other Family” from Mr and Miss Glis.  It was a great choice as I’d intended to buy the book myself, anticipating a good read based purely on the enthusiastic and sincere presentational style (as seen on TV!) of Claire herself.  As I can never put a good book down, I've resisted doing more than reading the first chapter and looking at the photos, saving the rest for later.  As predicted, I’m hooked!
