After standing in the local post office queue for ages waiting to send an urgent special delivery, I decided to buy a \u2018surprise!\u2019 book that a relative had hinted they fancied for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is no ordinary book. It\u2019s been written by Mike Brooke, (pictured above) who sailed around Britain on a 19-foot boat called <i>Theo\u2019s Future<\/i>, to raise money for crucial research that might help his blind godson, Theo, to gain his sight.<\/p>\n<p>So, there I was standing in yet another long queue in a different part of the post office, asking the assistant for <i>Theo\u2019s Future<\/i> when, a tall gentleman right behind me said: \u201cI\u2019m the author\u2026would you like me to sign it?\u201d. Well, talk about serendipity. How lovely.<\/p>\n<p>I now have a signed book, wrapped and under the Christmas tree and, having flicked through the first few pages, I have to say that I\u2019m very keen to read it too.<\/p>\n<p>The book is priced \u00a312.95 and more details are available by browsing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theosfuture.org\">www.theosfuture.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, I love moments like this!
