Recenzii

Editorial reviews A good read, it sometimes felt that you were actually there with them. A \'light\' book and very easy to read. Inspiration for us all to motorcycle touring overseas. Editor motorbike-search-engine.15th May 2009. "This new book by Rosalie Marsh is a heartwarming tale of two Born-Again Bikers and their adventures on their Gold Wing bike and then trike. It is a great read that will make you smile and nod your head in appreciation and might even inspire you to get out there and do a bit of travelling yourself!" Editor Trike Magazine Issue 04 09 What readers say: 'Not just for bikers!' 'Rosalie's passion for travel, adventure, and living life to the full comes across so beautifully in her narrative and her book Just Us Two which I highly recommend. Rosalie's thirst for knowledge and personal development has driven her to write and share her wonderful experiences - a true inspiration to me and I believe to anyone who aspires to live life without "if onlys"...' Chrisoula Sirigou, ExploramaEU via LinkedIn Just finished reading 'Just Us Two' by Rosalie Marsh. Rosalie's description of the countryside made be feel I on was on the motorbike, wind blowing through my hair and sun on my face. A book I will read again, and maybe again. Jean Mead, Author. Amazon. 'A celebration of life.' CalonFM.2009 Judith Sharman, Owner Well Tree Learning, Presenter, Consultant & Coach of the Nurturing Way, Well Tree Learning Ltd "...not only a gifted author who can bring her travel books alive, enticing the reader to visit the places she writes about. She has a wonderful sense of the ridiculous and her style as raconteur means that the reader feel she is talking personally, wryly smiling as the two of you sip wine in front of a winter fire!" October 7, 2011 via LinkedIn. Hi Rosalie. My wife June and I have just returned having spent the weekend in Menorca. My reading material was your lovely book. I really enjoyed reading it and it brought to life places we visited on our Wing in 2007. Thanks for taking the time to put this all together. I finished reading your book on our return flight today high above the Pyranees. I have to say I found the ending a little touching and I had to look out of the window as I suddenly got something in my eye. Cant wait to see the video. All the best and Thanks again for sharing. Paul Mann Leeds via Amazon. Dreams Do Come True I have read this book and totally get it. Thoroughly enjoyed it and found it completely absorbing. Helen Appleby Lancashire via Amazon.
