‘Good’, says my dear friend, Jill, when I tell her that Storm Ciara means the Llanelli Half Marathon has been postponed. ‘My guardian angel is working overtime!’. Jill’s guardian angel has indeed been very busy looking after her and her loved ones lately, so I’m impressed that she’s squeezed in a few extra hours to whip up a storm which will give me another four weeks to recover from my accident before I race. Bit tough on everyone else being battered by strong winds, of course, but yes, part of me is relieved. Llanelli’s one of my favourite races so I was reluctant to pull out, but a bit daunted by the prospect of running 13.1 miles just at the moment. My ribs have stopped clicking at last, but I’m afraid to sneeze without holding tight to the damaged area. So far as getting back to normal goes, my chipped front tooth has been repaired and most of my traumatised teeth have survived a ‘vitality test’ with electric pulp testing … which I have to say doesn’t half make you jump....

Maria xxxxxxxxxxxx and lots of hugs too!
And, Cara - thank you!
I am so enjoying reading Move Over Darling, learning more about what it might be like to move to Wales, and ... encounter some intriguing local folks.
I'm quite caught up in the plot and characters, and now want to slow my reading speed to be able to stay within the novel's pages a bit longer.

Frances, thank you - I'm so pleased and relieved... having a new book out there has made me rather needy!
So exciting to be able to read this book. I have my copy downloaded on my Kindle and can't wait to start reading.x
