Description
Listener mail is warmly welcomed 🙋♀️
Good evening and welcome to this rather forlorn episode of rather sub-standard audio quality. When I’m a published author living on a castle on a Scottish Island with a troop of staff, I will have a lovely gentleman who will attend to all technical matters. He will wear bottle green knee breeches and the castle will invite schoolchildren to visit to learn about the environment and caring for creatures like hedgehogs 🦔, frogs 🐸, bats 🦇 and birds 🦅.
How are you? I’m in Cornwall and plan to publish a literary this evening where I read Barchester Towers and Villette. Are you enjoying them? Are you missing Hardy? Do I need to cover literature from other countries and cultures?
Lots of love and THANK YOU ☺️. Apologies for the wind in a couple of sections.
