Blue Nun and the rocks! Aaaah! The joy of having a boat again! Blue Nun’s so much more responsive than our wooden boat, lovely as she was, and so nippy too! We enjoy a brisk sail from Neyland to Dale where we spend a couple of restful days, reading, writing and generally watching the world go by. On the third morning we decide on a change of scenery and potter round to a sheltered bay where we can pick up a mooring buoy. Well, we would have, if I’d been quicker. Now, I’m pretty good at picking up buoys, but make a right dog’s dinner of it this time. ‘Never mind,’ says Tom, ‘we’ll give it another go!’ He puts the engine in reverse and Blue Nun obediently travels backwards (something no previous boat of ours has ever done!) … and a rope which trails the dingy behind the boat whirls round the propeller.

You're Blessed with gorgeous daughters... and your gift.
Enjoy,

And well done for conquering your nerves. You sound very calm!
I so enjoyed listening to the radio interview. I thought your host did a fine job, and you were a delightful guest. I thought that the program seemed more like a conversation between new friends than an interview. This is bound to bring many more readers to your books.
(Great to hear that two more books are bubbling along now.)

Lane, I thought I might have to run away at one point, so thank you! And it was a beautiful day...not that I'm biased!
Frances, the temptation was to fill the blog with photos, but it was, after all, Their Special Day so not for me to broadcast too many. And thank you for your kind comments about the interview - the time flew by but, gosh, did I feel nervous!
And congratulations surviving being on the radio. I can only imagine how nerve wracking it was. Way to overcome your nerves and give a stellar performance. The audio doesn't let on how nervous you are!
I heard the interview from FB and I didn't think you sounded nervous at all! It was great to hear you. xx
You sounded wonderful!

Aw, thanks, Jenny. Doing live radio was a very strange experience - on one hand you're just having a conversation with a new person... and on the other hand you know there's a wider audience listening to you!
Liz, it was such a lovely day - hard to believe the sun shone when it's pouring down again today! How are you with radio?

Off to listen now...
And well done on your radio interview, must be quite nerve wracking, being a celebrity!
Wisewebwoman,yes, it truly was, thank you.
Liane - it was a bit of a miracle that we saw the sun shine that day - did yo send some over?
Posie - just nerve-wracking, not so much celebrity!
It was a proud day, Sue.. the radio interview, as you know, nearly tore me in half beforehand, but they were very gentle with me.
You sound very calm in your interview, did you have a little something in with your water...?!
