Toby hadn’t fully recovered from his non-contagious pneumococcal strain of bacterial meningitis when he attended the interview, but he must have impressed the panel as in February 2018, he received the news that he was successful, celebrating with a bottle of Polroger, Churchill’s favourite champagne. Amazing distances Pembrokeshire and Anglesey were completed in May, while the areas around the coast of Ireland will follow in July, and the west of Scotland up to the Hebrides in August. The book’s written by me, but in Toby’s voice and hopefully captures him as the narrator of his own story,” she added.It also followed the loss of his brother Marcus to cancer in 2017, aged 38, which acted as an alarm call for his own life. But it’s also a very healthy thing to do in a way. He died of cancer which can be a horrible, long, drawn-out end.

Best Books Set in the 1920s — from Stories That Shimmer with Champagne and Social Change, to Rip-roaring Reads Covering Crime, Colonialism and Beyond. Armchair travel at its best. And I say armchair because I was very happy to just read this one, with all its thrills and spills, without feeling the need to go and do it myself.
