  1. Have you finished with the final proofs? I like the niche you've carved, what's next?

  2. B&P: Yes, it's being (or even been) printed. Thanks. I think that clothes are for living in and they are just background (even if quite important background but they are not an end in themselves. The next one will be about a selection of great British adventurers but including various adopted people too, such as Krystyna Skarbek-Granville. But it's a Lite Bite!

  3. That sounds really interesting, there's a lot of heavy lifting in the research department there.

  4. Looking forward to it. I really like the sound of this.

    There's something about you that appeals, if you haven't noticed.

    Well done.

  5. B&P - there is some research, it is true but they are sketches, rather than mini-biographies; still, you'd be amazed how inaccurate some standard starting places, such as the Oxford DNB, can be. The result though is that I shall have to extend the delivery date.

  6. LBF - thanks, that's very encouraging. I recently 'found' your blog and B&P's (through it) and enjoy them both very much. It's good to know that there are still a few people like us; even if our views are -probably necessarily - minority views!
