Smelling the Breezes is an inspiring adventure, that throws down a gauntlet about what can be achieved in a family holiday. Rather than give a leaving party, Ralph and Molly Izzard had their own plans about how to say goodbye to their home in the Middle East. They would walk the three-hundred mile spine of the Lebanese mountains, camping where ever they stopped with their four children, two donkeys and Elias (their gardener-nursemaid-friend) as their sole travelling companions.
Ralph Izzard had been a heroic figure within Naval Intelligence in the War and was one of Ian Fleming s role models out of which he created the fictional James Bond. Have you ever idly wondered what James Bond would have been like as a father? Well then, read Smelling the Breezes. Not exactly settled down, but a foreign correspondent living in Beirut with a beautiful, adventurous and intelligent wife, Molly Crutchleigh-FitzPatrick.
