Excellent - I hope you enjoy it! x

I’m sorry to hear that things are so difficult right now. Sending love to you and your family.

Ah, I see!

?

Sorry not to do more here, but it’s just too hard to try to be in several places at the same time - given that I probably spend too much time on social media anyway.

Thank you! And it’s quite something for me to hear that Toby’s mother resonated with you, especially as she is, ahem, not entirely unfamiliar to me, either.

I have to confess at this point that it takes very little to start me off on reciting bits of Beowulf in what might or might not be a proper East Anglian version of Old English .... something I certainly enjoy more than do my listeners / victims.

They do, don't they? But yes, that would be a rather alarming development!

If you're in Blakeney, do pop round for coffee! I always seem to miss the Richard Foster related meet-ups in London.

No idea, unfortunately - it’s excellent though.

These are amazing - really useful! Many, many thanks for taking the time to find them for me.

Thank you, Kevin. I'm so glad that story worked for you although I hope you managed to get a decent night's sleep as well!

It was a bit windy here this morning, but absolutely nothing compared with what Ireland and Scotland have experienced — we've had stronger winds already once this year — so Bridget is absolutely fine. Thanks for the kind wishes though!

I hope so, too. Not least, I've been really encouraged by the responses to "The Lammas Ghosts" — it's a real incentive to put more time into writing.

I struggle to find time to post here as well as elsewhere, but I do like see posts from old friends!
