  1. Poor you. It is awful to be ill on holiday when you just want to be tucked up in your own bed. Really feel for you xxx

    @Notherner, please don’t say that. It gives Mark a licence to make our lives hell!

  4. My goodness @Lee Wilson, you’ve got people thinking 🤔 Yet again, you offer a story which would never have interested me but for seeing your name. I will keep going but having watched half of a Finnish Netflix film, Sisu, about a one man vengeance on a group of Nazis, I’m of an evermore nervous disposition.. as ever, for me, Lee, its your writing skills which force me to read on. As they say here, “Eres un crac”. But please be gentle with me 😘
  5. I was at Oxford when she was “rediscovered”. I remember buying The Sweet Dove Died” at Oxford railway station and giggling my way to London….. what a long time ago…
  6. For those who have never read her, the books are so, so funny. Yes, Robert is a good successor, @peter rietbergen.
  7. Worth reading just to learn of ‘a humblebrag’. I’ve never seen this before, either as one word or two, so @Summerabbacat will be saddened at another display of my ignorance. It’s a lovely way to illustrate what Venetia lacks: modesty. Another classic, @Robert Hugill!

    Oh, I was going along the “honest lawyer” tease…. Or am I in the wrong courtroom, @Mark Arbour?

    I’ve never seen a guy with a mullet cut who looked remotely intelligent- true in the 70’s- 80’s and even more so now. Not that I’m opinionated, of course…. 💇‍♂️

    Chapter 1

    The orange blossom is intoxicating here in the groves around Valencia so it’s time for me to travel back to Ravello and its lemon trees…… Such a beautifully-written start…

    I agree. Only the author’s name got me to read horror/paranormal. Glad I did though, it was fun 🤩

    Ummmm It’s good for @Mark Arbour’s soul to be challenged on cliffhangers. But since he has promised a new chp soon that might make me forgive him…… or a Granger chp or ten….

    One of the best comments so far!
  17. A great comment @Summerabbacat. I suspect this is a more common reaction than I would have thought. A sad chp for the youngsters and a challenge for Brian and Gordon. The story continues to impress me.
  18. It was always Fahrenheit until we were joining EEC, now the EU. I can still remember learning the conversions with plus and minus 32 being involved. At least one I can remember 28°C =82° F. (Ok 82.4 if we are fussy!).
  19. Here in Valencia it’s a v comfortable 20°+. Preparing myself for 2024 tax claim on my retirement payments. Hard to face 30-35°% tax rate ripping through every penny Ive ever saved but that is life here. You win the euro millions lottery in uk, no tax. With same numbers here 20°%+ tax. Still, we have the sunshine free, at least.
