Three friends, have recently taken me to task for not keeping up with my blog the last time I posted was April 2008, I'm ashemed to say. Truth be told, I was getting fed up with blogs. There are so many of them and what to say that is even a little bit different ? And some are so good they made me feel defeated. (My favourite is Liz Fenwick's – www.lizfenwick.blogspot.com) And who would be interested? What to write about? Well that's a question that implies that nothing has happened. And that's not true.
Since I last wrote I have:
Been sacked by my publishers.
Interviewed by Jeremy Paxman for new series on the Victorians.
Became a mentor to a group of writers.
Did crits of other's manuscripts.
Went to France for a holiday in our house in the Auvergne.
Decided to sell house in France.
Returned to cottage to find it flooded.
Moved into son's house.
Taught a course in Italy.
Joined a new Parkinson's Forum: www.parkinsonsforum.org
Decided not to sell house in France.
Enjoyed the best Christmas ever.
Went to a school to talk about the WWll – huge fun.
Dropped from the Paxman series.
Began to give talks about my life.
15th grandchild born – Jemima,
Now looking forward, this month,to moving back to cottage after over six months – took all that time to be dried out and restored.
I seem to be busier than ever.
I'll let you know about the above, in more detail, bit by bit.
Thank you Lois, Meg and Karen for waking me up - which they did in the nicest possible way.

For the 2nd time I'm reading your 1992 novel "Advances" and it's one of those books that lets one do only what I call the minimum service of the rest of the things one should do...unputdownable, yes ;)
ReplyDeleteHow things have changed from when there were no mobile phones or at least not everyone had them I often think.
Good luck to you and a hug,
Terry.
