Getting Away
How a Crazy Dream Became a Reality
On the verge of a breakdown, Mike persuades Ann to build a sailing yacht to escape the nine-to-five rat race and meander around the Mediterranean in the sunshine.

“There’s something important you need to know, Mitzie. You’ve arrived in this crazy household at a wild time. Mike is trying to find a way to stop working. Mike and Ann are building a sailing yacht as part of a bigger plan to get away from the nine-to-five rat race.”
MONTY RUFFLES
Mike Ruffles
Mike writes about his life and how he and his wife Ann escaped the Rat Race.
Mike Ruffles grew up in Germany, completed a toolmaker apprenticeship, and then served in the Royal Armoured Corps in a Tank Regiment.
After leaving, he joined a company in Bristol as a Project Manager. Never happy with the 9-to-5 routine, he decided to get away from it all, leave the nine-to-five routine behind, and head to the Mediterranean to relax in the sun.
REVIEWS
What an amazing story! Well if you want to get away from it all what a way to do it. I particularly like the fact that the book is written through the eyes of the dogs Mitzie and Monty. A brave adventure and a must read for anyone who's torn between setting off themselves, or plodding on with the rat race!
Great book to read. Poor Mitzie, she really had to put up with some nonsense. Great humour here, but so much knowledge gained by reading it. Can’t wait for the next book
