    Why Mummy Drinks on Holiday

    Written by Gill Sims

    Narrated by Gabrielle Glaister

    About this audiobook

    No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited sixth Why Mummy novel.

    When family life gives you lemons, trade them for grapes!

    Mummy Ellen is on a well-earned sabbatical from work, and she has A Vision. She is going to cherish *every* moment this holiday with her Precious Moppets Peter and Jane, alongside her ride-or-die best friend, Hannah. There will be wicker baskets! Vintage bicycles! Pink sunshine wine! And not an electronic babysitter in sight.

    But as she strives for her picture-perfect “Ultimate Family Summer” in the sun-kissed bliss of her almost-chateau, reality crashes the party. With small feral hell-beasts to keep alive on the daily, and Hannah suddenly and mysteriously MIA, wine o’clock gets earlier and earlier as each day crawls by.

    Can she keep The Vision alive without resorting to nightly beige ‘freezer tapas’ (aka guilt-flavoured chicken nuggets)? Or will she reach the end of her Gentle Parenting book and her tether as her dream holiday descends into a nightmare?

    Join Ellen on her uproarious quest to salvage one of the #18PreciousSummers, or simply find her Grape Escape.
