Review:
I was given the book to read and I loved it. It was one of those books that I did not want to put down but equally did not want to finish, as I was enjoying it too much (like saving a new
dress ‘for best’). It was all so simple, it made sense and it worked!!! Now, I am not going to elaborate more, because I am now too busy living anxiety-free!
Too busy enjoying life.
Planning life.
Too happy to even think about the old me who wasted so much time feeling anxious, stressed, miserable, not wanting to be here.
So, read it for yourself.£8.99 -

Astounding Agnes, The First Girl Guide
Meet Agnes Baden-Powell, the clever girl who grew up to be the talented and energetic first president of the Girl Guides! Learn about her family, early life, skills and talents in this book, for children aged six and up.
Agnes was an unconventional Victorian woman who loved sports and nature. She promoted outdoor education and activities for girls and young women long before it was fashionable. Agnes worked tirelessly to establish Girl Guiding and grow the organisation. She penned numerous articles and traveled extensively to convince people about the benefits of joining.
Sadly, Agnes did not receive much recognition during her lifetime. She was later sidelined and excluded from leadership positions. A campaign to see her receive more recognition for her achievements and to celebrate her legacy is gaining support. Hopefully this book will create more awareness of this astounding woman’s contributions to the Girl Guiding movement, which continues to inspire and empower girls and young women today.
“I think it’s great! It will be a delightful, inspirational children’s book! Agnes was the most remarkable woman and it’s so good that her talents and achievements are being given due recognition. I wish Catherine Gritz every success with it.” From Gill Clay, Agnes’s great-niece.

Au Revoir, Mate!
My name is Dougay Roberre. My passport reads: Douglas Roberts. I don’t think either is real. At age three, my parents fled France to go into witness protection. I grew up in Sydney, Australia, among the sun, the sand, and the surf. As I neared forty, I had a yearning to discover my French roots, selling my Bondi Beach apartment and buying an attic apartment in Nice on the Cote d’Azur. I can speak French, though not read nor write it. I can use my fists – as a teenager I was taught to box. Without academic qualifications, I take whatever employment comes my way. I am a man for hire. I looked to where the car had stopped. On the footpath was a dark form – a non geometric shape. Curiosity aroused, I crossed to it. It was a person. I turned the body over and she moaned, “Don’t phone the police. Don’t phone the police.”
