@Cymru Like it or not, I'm not sure, but the much stylised English rose icon running through the background squares is certainly a surprise.

@planbcreative Congratulations from an old – now very old! – friend. Another bright success from his bright and successful Dad. Then everything you produce is always pretty amazing. 😉 You've every right to be a #ProudDad.

@BridportPrize The next novel. And the characters are shouting at me. I've taken a wrong turn. It's time to follow their lead and see where it takes me. Somewhere better, no doubt.

@planbcreative Retire? And one so young, PJ. Have a long and happy one. From one so old he remembers you from the days befor B was born. CA

@drkmprice Like the title! Good luck with the new venture. Anyone can be creative if they just take the plunge and try, so grads and novices get your fingers tapping on your keyboards, pens and brushes on your artwork.
