  • We interrupt our usual broadcast…

    I’m so sorry! My blog this week should, of course, be all about my Q book. However, it’s gone a bit pear-shaped. I had it all worked out: on holiday I was going to finish my P book (managed that) and find and read my Q book. A nice plan, but I hadn’t realised how…
