I've read the lot and <a href="http://galenote2.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/frances-garrood-novelist.html" rel="nofollow">posted about them</a> and haven't been disappointed. I started because of the first sentence of <i>Dead Ernest</i>. "Nobody expected Ernest to die. Least of all Ernest.".

I didn't review the book but only my reaction to it. I did think I shouldn't like this genre but was surprised. Frances has written lots of books. I have another one called Earnest something. I 'm saving that one till kitchen roll is on offer. Buy six...get twelve.

You dispelled them within a chapter. It's a book I'll read again when I feel sorry for myself. It is for all it's pathos uplifting.<br />I wish I could write half as well or as honestly. Honestly I do! I popped that bit of punctuation in just because I like !!!! exclamation marks. Your book was a bit lacking in that department.<br />Kindle must be a godsend to authors. I would have just passed a book on but now folk have to buy their own. Jolly good! Someone has to pay the vets bills.

Hills and mists and empty lands can be quite disturbing - though you are used to these sceneries.<br /><br />About your comment on my blog, Loose and Leafy- http://looseandleafy.blogspot.co.uk/ . I'm perplexed. There's nothing new or different about it. The post describes, for the sake of new readers, what it has been for several years now - the kinds of posts posted, the kinds of content covered. I'm sorry you don't like it - but that's a bit sudden . . . ? I mean - you've never complained before and you've been commenting there off and on over the last couple of years!<br /><br />Maybe it's that you like Message in a Milk Bottle better and are confusing the two? - http://messageinamilkbottle.blogspot.co.uk/ (that's the one photograph a day blog - except today I posted two photographs but such a thing hardly ever happens).<br /><br />Ah well!<br /><br />Anyway - back from a non-blogging summer so I'm not up with news on your blog. Hope you are ok and all is well.<br /><br />LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-17984356645286679062013-10-08T20:20:15.997+01:002013-10-08T20:20:15.997+01:00Stay away from all pictures of your self.

You need some kitchen roll handy to mop up tears of mirth and tears of sadness.<br /><br />I'm fine, have got a black and white jumper. I'm hoping it will become a uniform grey to match the rest of my wardrobe.<br /><br />I'll give you a ring as I have a month to kill and fancy seeing Rosemary's ducks again. <br /><br />I think I could be a literary critical person.

She didn't particularly like the color but it looked good on her. She liked orchid but said she looked like death in it. I would suggest taking a long look in the mirror while wearing either color before I bought the jacket.David Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260130060172457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-81608934422207417882013-10-08T10:24:12.260+01:002013-10-08T10:24:12.260+01:00Douglas, I usually enjoy this time of year.
