I'm happy to wait for the 2nd edition, Sheila. Don't go to any trouble ;)

Thank you Fran..I now feel I have to reissue a revised version of the book or at least demand Amberley provide an 'Addenda' slip to go inside all copies! Sheila - (SC Skillman)

Haha! Well done to Sheila but sounds like she may have to do a rewrite when your trousers become rich & famous!

Oh, so THAT'S what caused the overnight storm in the Shetlands? You knew I was going there. Could have warned me. And I seem to remember someone that got married at Pageant House. Luckily she wasn't smited by a trouser leg whilst walking down the ailse.

My tutorial partner at Oxford went to Warwick High (she was posher than me, I only went to Barrs Hill Girls' Grammar in Coventry). I didn't know her before Oxford, even though she lived a mile or two from me in Coventry and her parents went to my church, but I think they put us together because we were both from Coventry. We're still friends 51 years later!

That's what I call a long-term friendship!

That's nothing - I went to Norfolk recently to visit a friend I've known for 63 years, since we were at school together between the ages of 7 and 9, and my 'oldest' friend I've been friends with for 65 years, since we lived two houses apart from the age of five!

I can't match this. I think my longest friendship is perhaps 40 years, though, so that's not too shabby!
