Blurb Lucy needed a change of scene. She didn’t expect the change of a lifetime. Doctors Without Borders has been Lucy Young’s life for the past four years.

In Sunrise on the Coast, Sophie regularly walks along a coastal path between Alcalá and Playa de la Arena, and I have strolled this exact same path more times than I can remember (probably because my memory is awful!). The coastline is rocky and wild in places, and when the surf is up, it can be quite dramatic.

Corn on the cob is a different matter entirely. Poppy is a thief and an opportunist. She'll turn her nose up at the finest roast chicken in her bowl, but if she can steal something gross out of the bin, then she'll happily eat it. That's what happened with a corn on the cob which was destined for the bin. It fell out of a bag before it got as far as the big green wheelie bin, the dog snaffled it, and by the time I noticed, she'd eaten half of it. Sweetcorn husks can be fatal to dogs if ingested. They can cause blockages and ca
