MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – STOCKINGS

EVENTS My last minute change of venue on the previous Saturday from Godalming to Guildford Guildhall turned out to be as good as I’d hoped.

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – TREADMILL

PERSONAL UPDATE Like most people in the UK, and many people around the world, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II has hit me quite hard even though her death was always going to be soon. It’s been amazing to see how much of the country has reacted and how well us British do pomp and […]
