ADVENTURES ON LAND AND UNDER THE SEA
Tales of a travelling mermaid …
Join me on my adventures as I travel - inexpertly and with far too much rammed into my case - to where the sea is warm and the water is (hopefully!) clear. I hope to explore some of the cultures and lands that I am lucky enough to visit, scuba dive my way around the other world under the sea and ensure I get plenty of stops for delicious cups of tea along the way!
