Well, here's the second blog.
Family and I managed to do Christmas - Lou, the grandchildren and her partner stayed in their house with her partner's father, I stayed in my house with the other three, Miles, Phillips and Leo. We had all the traditional food, and did New Year's Eve, too, with Haggis and bashed Neeps.
Now, the decorations are down, and I am endeavouring to write Libby 22. Our friend Lee has re-done my website - which my publisher says is elegant - and I have received the Dreaded Email telling me I am Extremely Clinically Vulnerable. Doesn't make a lot of difference, as I've been staying indoors since last March. I have alo bought rather a lot of joggers, and Lou bought me the lovliest warm jacket for Christmas. Phillipa bought me a DustBuster, and Leo bought me the Rupert Annual. Miles bought me the Victoria Wood biography. A mixed bag.
That's it, then. Happy days - and I hope everyone has the best New Year they can possibly have.

I got my Rupert Annual too! My partner gets me one every year! All the best to you and your family, happy writing xx
My name is Donald Macdonald . My wife was a student at Clapham County Grammar School for girls during the same years as you. Her name is Irene Boyd. I know this because she told me about Head Mistress Miss Willey and teacher Miss Thwaits. Irene was voted May Queen, I do not know the year.
Did you know Irene?
Thank you
Donald

My wife,Irene Boyd,was a student at Clapham County Grammar School during the same years you wrote about in 2008. I know I have the right school because the dates are the same and Irene told me about Miss Willy and Miss Thwaits. Irene was voted My Queen. I do not know the year. Do you remember Irene?
Thank you
Donald Macdonald
I'm afraid I didn't know Irene, Donald. Miss Willey was only headmistress for my first couple of terms, it was Miss Viner who was head for most. of it
As there has been nothing on your blog since the new year I hope you and your family are all OK.
I love your Libby Sergeant books and have contacted you by email before.
In another regard, the writing group I belong to occasionally has workshops or guest speakers to encourage us in our endeavours. I wonder if it is something you do "in normal times"? We are based in Thanet so not too far a distance for you to travel. Please let me know via email at june.angliss@gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you in this regard, whether a yes or a no. June
