Nearly sixty years after Penelope Chetwode, wife of Poet Laureate John Betjeman, ventured into rural Spain on a borrowed mare, Karen Considine follows on horseback in her hoof-prints.
Nearly sixty years after Penelope Chetwode, wife of Poet Laureate John Betjeman, ventured into rural Spain
on a borrowed mare, Karen Considine follows on horseback in her hoof-prints. Her guide and companion is
Penelope’s book, ‘Two Middle-Aged Ladies in Andalusia’. Among the many changes, she finds the enduring
spirit of the Andalusian people unaltered.
Karen says, “I have been ‘exploring’ since I was around four-years-old, on foot and on horseback, always
wanting to see what was hidden around the next corner and then ‘making maps’. My mother gave me
Penelope Chetwode’s book when I was fifteen and I never forgot my determination to follow her ride one
day. That day finally came when I retired, and I was off after her within the year.”
“Beautifully written and truly captures daily Andalusian life.”
Richard Dunwoody MBE, Retired steeplechase jockey

Karen Considine was born in Southern Ireland in farming country. Her working life was spent travelling, mainly in Europe and South America, with High Goal Polo – she occasionally got into trouble for taking strings of polo ponies on exploring rides instead of round in circles. Karen worked as a freelance journalist for several years before moving to Southern Spain where she ran a mountain horse trekking business from 2009. Now retired, she is based in Ronda, Spain.
