clearly she's having her sunglasses buffed by a uniformed flunky and being asked if the glare from the ocean is too bright

Suzy - got half the bookshop with me!

I'm reading Small Island at the moment which is good.

Off the top of my head have Patricia Cormwall - Trece, Alan Hollinghurst - teh line of beauty, Alexander McCasll Smith, 44 Scotland Street, Joanne Harris Jigs and reels, Lionel Shriver, we need to talk about Kevin.

Otehr guests seem nice, mixture of French and Brits. Not many perfect figures thankfully so no need to feel too inadequate, plenty of cellulite, even on the French gals - so all that cream stuff can't possibly work!

A few honeymooners I think, but mostly parents with children. But more girls than boys!

Only first day so still finding our way around! I might even be brave and try waterskiing, but maybe that would be a bit rash[grin}, perhaps the glass bottomed boat might be more my thing

Anyone been to Mauritius for October half term? We've been recommended Legends or the Beau Rivage. Are these good?
