Always took my laptop and got some words down (The place is totally inspiring!!) BUT....then kids come along!?!? :-) Good to see you're getting on with the writing. Impressed mate!! Can't recall if we ever had a bet to see who got something published first, if so looks like you may be onto a winner (50 pence springs to mind???). Got to say though, have dusted the cobwebs from my fingers and have been tapping away since you've been in touch.........could almost say you have inspired me pal. Take care and speak soon.

Unfortunately I liked the MFI wardrobe joke as well, but it's the only spot that I (as a writer) saw the author appearing in the story. The author was telling a joke; or am I seeing something which doesn't exist? I always have to criticise something.
