ReplyDeleteThanks Azteclady. I found it and have emailed.
ReplyDeleteMy copy of the book arrived today. It looks lovely and very tempting. I am going to have some waiting time at my son's school this morning, so I shall tuck this in my handbag and read while I wait. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteKerry, really? I'm so glad! That was faster than I feared it would be. You are very welcome and I hope you enjoy it.
