So exciting @leyla! Definitely placing an order. I love Portugal and have dreamed about living there for years - just need to convince the husband. Any tips on that? :-) :-)
oh my goooooooosh, I hope it landing on your doormat in a few weeks will be the nicest gift to your future self! Thank you so much for your support! I hope you really resonate with Pathways :) My tips would be, plant the seed a few years before you want to do it 😅
Sounds truly amazing. I’ve ordered mine already and cannot wait to get it in my hands and have it on my summer reading list. So happy for you and sending duas your way for what will be an exciting adventure. Oh, and looking forward to reading more about it here.
Oh wow, that’s amazing — congratulations! I absolutely love that you’re taking a leap and trying something new by moving to Portugal. I’m ordering the book right away and can’t wait to read all about your adventures. So excited for you 🫶🏼
Thanks for sharing Leyla! Just listened to your podcast with Gilly about your new upcoming adventures. Wishing you lots of joy, satisfaction and abundance.
Oh this is so nice to hear and I just loved chatting with Gilly, she's so brilliant at podcasts and it was an honour to chat to her first about Pathways! Thank you for your kind words Melissa :)
Sara! Thank you and for your beautiful words on the re-stack. It just means a really huge amount. Just amazing really! Haha yes this has been occupying at least 80% of my mind for about 3 years 😅 I truly hope you enjoy Pathways x
We are renovating a village house in Zakynthos where my husband is from. It’s a beautiful island. Our neighbour is from Crete, she’s wonderful! There’s also a great grocery shop selling Cretan produce in Zakynthos.
Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim, THANK YOU! This means such a lot. I hope you enjoy it. It's so nice to think soon these digital relationships I have with readers will be joined by something physical and tangible, that will be posted from the UK all the way to you guys wherever you are. How amazing.
Looking forward to reading more about EVERYTHING related to this; the writing process for the books; how you and your husband came to the decision to move; and I’m just really happy for you both.
An incredible achievement and yey they deliver abroad, so I can get copies in Hong Kong!
Saraaaaaaaaah! Thank you so much for you beautiful reaction! So much still to share, I'm trying to figure out how to write about it all without sounding like a broken record haha 💗
Massive congratulations. That is some achievement. And you sound happy. I suspect it’s all just feeling … right? Wishing you a fabulous adventure in your new home x
Huge congratulations! That's super exciting.
THANK you very much indeed!

omgggggg I’m so excited for you to read it Janine, truly! Thank you for your support. It will be hitting your doormat soon!
Can’t wait!
Oh, and I thought of something else Leyla.
You now need to update your '57 Things I Know About Myself' post, right? I mean...
58. I wrote a book - in secret
59. I bought land in Portugal - in secret
60. Me and Matt are about to become the 21st Century version of Barbara and Tom in 'The Good Life' - and tell the world about it
YEA!
61. Really good at sitting on a happy surprise for a sustained length of time, like a chicken on an egg
So many people have referenced this show and I think it's about time I actually watched it..!
I'm not sure The Good Life has aged that well since it came out in 1975! There are some classic scenes there though...
You must bouncing on a cloud of happiness right now - woo-hoo! So looking forward to receiving the books and also your upcoming posts on what's next.
Oh wow, that’s amazing — congratulations! I absolutely love that you’re taking a leap and trying something new by moving to Portugal. I’m ordering the book right away and can’t wait to read all about your adventures. So excited for you 🫶🏼
Tuğba! THANK YOU for your heartfelt message. I think you will love Pathways. I'm so grateful for your support ❤️
Hurray! Such exciting news. And can’t wait to discuss it with you at the British Library soon 💚

Inspiring and motivating - moving to Greece next year for a similar lifestyle!
In which zone of Greece? I love that country, but I went only in Crete and it was a paradise.
We are renovating a village house in Zakynthos where my husband is from. It’s a beautiful island. Our neighbour is from Crete, she’s wonderful! There’s also a great grocery shop selling Cretan produce in Zakynthos.
Holy heck, how exciting Lucy! Gorgeous Greece!
