Review on Goodreads


Horizon Horseback Safaris
as portrayed in 'Ride The Wings of Morning'

A recent review on Goodreads: ' Perfect holiday reading- especially if you're going to Southern Africa on a safari! It made me laugh until my sides hurt, and at the same time enriched my thought-life with its wisdom and depth. It's beautifully written, funny, honest and inspiring- a really great read. '

Riding up into the Andes


While snow still sits on the mountain peaks in Argentina,


the arrival of spring causes plant life on the slopes to burst into bloom.


We mounted our horses to climb higher into the Andes range


heading towards the border with Chile.


Rivers were flowing with melt water, but skies were clear.


as we left the cattle lands behind us


and rode further into the mountains


Let me know if you would like to go on a similar ride early next year. A friend of mine is leading one across the Andes from Argentina to Chile - the chance of a lifetime.

A collection of letters written between the author and her family during the time she spent convalescing and working in South Africa, this lovely volume also contains artwork completed during the years she was there. I enjoyed this book very much and would love to meet the author.

A wonderfully refreshing book, innocent, appealing, very funny, insightful . . . a must read if you like witty, human life stories. Richard Pilbrow

Loved this book as it reminded me so much of my childhood in rural Zululand, South Africa, in the 1990s. Loved Sophie's adventures, and African experiences.
