I was interviewed yesterday morning on our local BBC radio station, and talked about why I wrote the book, my background as a Third Culture Kid (TCK) and gave some advice for anyone planning a move overseas. What a lovely experience – the presenter was a joy to work with, very friendly and it felt like we were just having a chat down the pub. I went into the studios for the interview, which is something I have never done before so it was quite the experience for me! Please listen below if you get a chance and let me know what you think.
In the meantime, I was also featured in our local newspaper, the Echo, on Friday – you can read about that here: http://www.gloucestershireecho.co.uk/Cheltenham-author-diplomat-s-daughter-writer/story-26344506-detail/story.html#7dshrJCmWdeqDYeT.01
And finally – I am very honoured to have been named as a “Top 10 Expat Blogger” on the Medibroker’s website – http://www.medibroker.com/blog/2015/april/10-best-expat-blogs/, which is very kind of them!
Have a lovely Tuesday everyone.

I forgot I was on the radio to be honest! Don’t forget also that I used to be a press officer and although I didn’t do much live stuff I used to talk to the press every day. And we’re talking the UK national press… Who could be nasty!

Yes, it wasn’t really Paxman, to be sure, but even so, you did a great job. Hope it gets you some sales.

Computer fixed so I could listen! Interesting your comment about not forming close friendships, or not getting close to people. I imagine there is always this impending doom (there must be a better word than that!) that this too shall pass and you will be moving on again. Very insightful.
