Such a great month Jo and I'm so pleased you enjoyed your time away in Vietnam. Let's hope June goes to plan and our book podcast goes well! It's great to have you home.

You have been busy indeed, Jo. Your publish date is getting so close. I'm sure that will keep you busy in June. On another note, I also very much enjoyed The Residence.

Your trip has looked stunning and made me think that perhaps a bike trip to Vietnam might just be up for '27. As to writing every day in summer...LOL not likely. I do look forward to your writing though although now I am back to square one to get the books again. I am quite excited to listen to your stunning book club podcast when it goes live.

Did you enjoy 84 Charing Cross Road? I listened to it as an audio book and thought it was quite interesting as a snapshot into the world at that time.

Thanks for hosting the WBOYC. Bernie

I'd say you've had a fabulous month Jo. Great travel photos. Looking forward to catching up with Clementine Carter again, so I'm very pleased to hear the publication date is getting near.

A full on month, Jo but what a fabulous trip you shared with Sarah and your SIL. I loved all of your photos and felt was there with you. I read Murder in the Mangroves whilst away and couldn't put it down. I'll be recommending it everywhere. Congratulations! I'm sure you have hit the ground running with all that you have on in the next few months. Looking forward to our Podcast! xx

Enjoyed The Residence but felt the middle bit dragged and it really did carry overtones of the Bridgerton style from its producer. Starting Clarksons’ Farm 4 tonight.

Time’s flying way too fast. Can’t believe it’s June next week and we’re still waiting for rain and a proper winter!

This country is such a contrast, isn't it? It's still raining up here and NSW coast has had heaps yet down south there's been nothing...

I really enjoy your travels Jo! Thank you for sharing them. And I hope all continues to go well with writing and more. I’ve even linked up a post today! Things are going well for me too! Denyse x

Thanks for linking up Denyse... I've been a tad slack with my commenting over the past month so it was good to catch up with your news.

I think a holiday may have had something to do with that…and I am so glad you had that amazing break too! Thank you x

Hi Jo - your Vietnam photos that popped up all over my FB feed were bright and beautiful - so exotic and I could see that it was a wonderful time for you and Sarah. We've given up our Netflix and Ross has gotten himself into Prime - Clarkson's Farm has become his binge favourite and he was excited about the new season too. Maybe you were farmers in a previous life??

We had a fantastic time away. Perhaps Ross and I were farmers in a previous life...

That trip looks wonderful!

Joanne Tracey's avatar

It certainly was...

Hi, Jo - I've loved my past travels to Vietnam. Thank you for sharing your photos here - they brought back great memories.

Your plans for June sound very productive. I look forward to learning more about your upcoming Christmas novel. I look forward to connecting again soon.

I've had so much time away so far this year I have plenty of boxes to be ticked in June to even get close to catching up!
