Living It Up In The Land Of The Free

I’m just back from America and another potential divorce trip to rival our infamous ‘Cotswolds to Istanbul and back’ tour of 2015. This time, the Joly family piled into a car at LAX and drove around California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. What could possibly go wrong? Well, apart from a 70-mile road battle with a motorcycle gang, a disastrous night on a Vegas blackjack table with Hank from Breaking Bad, just missing a deadly rockslide in Zion and finally cracking and refusing to leave a 30% tip for a woman handing me a cup of skinny, organic, fair-trade, almond milk, blonde, vanilla, macchiato… not much.
