Author Patricia Sands is such a wonderfully warm and engaging woman. I loved chatting to her and could have kept talking with her over a cuppa for the rest of the day (probably swapping to wine at some stage and chatting on through the night!) 

Patricia talked to me about her passion for writing from the perspective of more mature women,  about her fascinating life story as a teacher in her early years, being widowed then remarried... She chatted freely about the way COVID affected her, about her very personal experience looking in northern France for her uncle's grave  who was killed during WW2, as well as her ongoing connection to France.

Talking to Patricia about "her" Provence, I just want to jump on a plane and head there immediately! She has a way of painting a picture that evokes an emotional response. 

I loved most of all Patricia's response to my request for her to describe her perfect French day. Her response, "I can answer this easily as I have lived my perfect French day so many times!" How wonderful to know then, that dreams can actually come true. 

There is hope for all of us.
