News, reviews, etc

"Charlie Cochrane has again done a lovely job of bringing her characters and their world to life, and I highly recommend this excellent book."

Five stars for Lessons in Temptation at Rainbow Reviews.

Online life a bit hit and miss over the next week so if I'm supposed to be doing something for someone and I forget, please nudge me. Highlight of next few days is Barrowman in Robin Hood at Cardiff (the foot of snow they're predicting for South Wales notwithstanding).

And a mystery - did someone (who knows my real name and addy) send me a braclet? Have eliminated all the usual suspects and now Mr. Cochrane thinks I have a secret admirer...

aw, lovely on the review -- so happy for you :)

And I bet Brian figured out where you live...

You are not the only person to have made that suggestion...

Wasn't me. I'm not sure I have your address even.

Oh, you're going to Cardiff? I'm so jealous! I went to my first panto yesterday but I would love to see JB in one. Though I can't say I'd be paying much attention... lol

:) I'm not sure I'll be doing more than drooling. If we ever get there...

This bracelet thing is bugging me - the offices of the place are closed until January so I can't even get an answer there!

Ah yes, that was me! Sorry. I had assumed they would let me wrap it up and add a note, but then they didn't. Happy Christmas anyway!

You're not supposed to be doing anything for me but if you're taking requests I'll take the Barrowboy if you can manage to get your hands on him (and can then manage to get your hands OFF him *g*).

Aw, thank you so much. I prefer you to a secret admirer any day.

If I get my hands on the Barrowboy I'll hold him for ransom(ransom = Scott) then we'll get the pair of them. I'll share...

Have you read the Barrowboy's new book? There are lots of hilarious Scooty references - will compile and send them to you if you haven't read it.

Oh, if you could do that, it would be fab. Have resisted buying it - will succumb for birthday, perhaps. My to read pile is just too large...

Oh, I just wanted to check whether you're still up for lunch on the 12th? I'll be in town from the afternoon of the 11th to the morning of the 14th. :)

The 12th is till looking good. If there's ay problems we could make it the 13th. It'll be grand.

Great! I'll send you my mobile number through email, though it's safe to say that you'd be able to find me at the record office! :)
