Thanks, guys. I've sent a similar letter to The Times (I have quite a good strike record with them), but of course, it won't be published. Free advertising you see (ts ts). Actually, it wasn't for any advertising, but because I think the government have been staggeringly incompetent over the fuel "crisis". I could have handled it better myself!
He he, I have bought the Kindle editions of both, but since I am a German citizen living in Germany, Mr. Cameron can advise what he wants, I will not listen to him ;-P
Well, then Frances, you haven't heard about the poor lady who had petrol in her kitchen and was pouring some in a jug from a can for her daughter when they were cooking. I'm sad to say she in now in hospital badly burnt.
Which is why I'm not keeping my piles of books in my kitchen when I run out of space because of the naked flames and paper risk. (Tongue firmly in cheek)
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
