Lantern Parade

November 27, 2006

Have just got back from a relaxing weekend in the Lakes. We went to the Ambleside Lantern Parade and The Ulverston Dickensian Festival. We ended up in a cafe having lunch next to Gerald Dickens, great-great-grandson of the man himself. Will post a pic when camera connected to PC.

Also saw Casino Royale. OMG Daniel Craig. OMG A knotted rope and a chair. Ohhhh…errrr.

Besides that, I just dropped by the blog of Nell Dixon, whom I have met in the flesh three times (consuming lemon meringue pie on one occasion). I also follow her exploits in cyberland. I wish I could be like Nell. A Good Person, always enthusiastic about writing and doing a tough day job I envy and admire greatly because it helps people.

   DF, he does indeed!

   Even the bad guy is moved to pass comment on his buffness.

   DF, CJ – he certainly seems to have a very broad appeal ‘Lush’, ‘Utterly Lustworthy’ and ‘Fit as a Butcher’s Dog’ are just three comments I’ve heard by email from a variety of female friends… and yet he is blond! Those eyes though…

   Pip!
   I love your blog and website – but I LOVED your book even more! I still squeeze it regularly as I pass by the shelf.
   Hope this wee note finds you well – did you ever do a launch at Borders in Edinburgh??
   Love the past times picture – I love anything with bloomers. Makes me yearn to sit down with half a packet of biscuits and a Catherine Cookson vid – easily pleased moi?
   I’m so glad to find you here, well and drooling over Bond.
