Following his successful I'll Give It Six Months, a delightful and humorous memoir, and Travels With My Appetite, his take on travel and food, Robert Howe's third literary venture is into the world of poetry and proves equally as entertaining. His poems and limericks, in the style of Pam Ayres, whom he greatly admires, are both humorous and touching and will keep you smiling throughout, with a few more that are sober and heart-rending. His career has been as diverse as his travels, from a chef in a London hospital to a spell in the Diplomatic Service. Now retired, he lives near his favourite city, Chester, with his wife, Linda Fraser-Webb.
