Publisher's Synopsis
The author always enjoyed a sense of freedom, whether roaming around the Somerset countryside as a child or later on, living offshore with her husband and three daughters on a boat. She considers nothing strictly 'out of bounds', and for seventy years no-one has stopped her in her tracks. Thank You for My Dinner really sums up the dichotomy of her life - an upbringing steeped in Victorian-based principles and the free license to go her own way, which was generous even by twenty-first century standards. This is the story of Celia's early life coupled with a trip down the river, never completely grown up, always looking for adventure, not anticipating danger, but keeping a sense of fun and a smile through various struggles - and surviving enough to say 'thank you' at the end.
