Win a luxury cruise! Yes, really...

To celebrate the launch of The Book of Summers, Waterstones are running a cardholder competition, to win a luxury cruise through Hungary. It's an amazing prize, the trip starting in Vienna, taking you through Budapest and on into Romania. Go here to find out how to enter. And it's 'no purchase necessary.' Wait a minute, what am I saying? It's purchase very necessary, obviously...


I'll leave you with a picture of my sister and I on the banks of the Danube in 1990, with the Liberty Bridge - Szabadság hid - behind us. I'm the little one with the ropey fringe.
