I can hardly credit that it is over a month since my last entry, so what have I been doing in that time? Well, catching up on new writing for one thing now that the paperback signings are finally over. I had one more talk to give in Dunnington Reading Room, Dunnington being near York and a delightful village which has apparently won the Village in Bloom award for the last couple of years. It was a very pleasant evening with a full house, the audience being very receptive.
Then of course came the Royal Wedding which I watched on TV all day! My daughter Catherine came over and we ate a proper cooked English Breakfast followed by coffee and cake and toasted the wedded couple in Bucks Fizz.
On the 4th May I attended Mike Ulyatt's event at the Hull Royal Station Hotel which commemorated the 70 th anniversary of the Hull Blitz which caused such devastation and misery. There is a booklet and DVD on sale to recall those terrible times, lest we forget.
And since then I really have been writing, but in between, meeting friends, attending concerts and the most marvellous production of Die Valkurie, Live Opera at Cineworld. Outstanding!
Last night I wore my other hat, that of Editor at The Hull and District Talking Magazine for the Blind, a charity I have been involved with for over twenty five years. The occasion was the AGM in which the last of the original founders of the charity, Harold Milner, stepped down after thirty four years of sterling work. He has relinquished his role as Chairman and we have asked him to be our President.
Back to work!
