It had businesses on it with themed names&hellip;<em>The Lion Rampant</em>, <em>Blueberry Hill</em>, <em>The Wizard, The Travellers Rest</em> and <em>The Yellow Brick Road Carvery</em>. Later on, a little bar called <em>The Tin Man</em> would also appear, but only for a short time. His heart apparently wasn&rsquo;t in it! Unfortunately, over a period of four years, this little road once paved with gold would see these British businesses close. The dream was over.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">This is the story of a family giving up a secure, predictable British life to go and manage a caf&eacute; bar in Spain. They called it <em>living the dream</em>. But this was no ordinary dream. There were tears, frustration, intimidation, depression and laughter - all vital ingredients for insanity. How could they escape from this<br />nightmare?</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Close your eyes and tap your heels three times. And think to yourself &ndash;There&rsquo;s no place like<br />home.</em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Enjoy the journey that took this family over the rainbow and remember to watch out for those &ldquo;<em>lions and tigers and bears, oh my</em>!&rdquo;</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Order book now at <a href="http://www.ypdbooks.com">www.ypdbooks.com</a></p> <p>Follow us on twitter <strong>@BenidormBooks</strong></p>
