@LorraineJourno No, all true! I have written another book but not sure of its future x

[Frances Maynard @perkinsfran1]

@LorraineJourno Pleasure - relishing reading about Baden-Powell in your wry, inimitable style!

DM: Saw you running this morning, you looked in great shape.

Me: It wasn’t me, I was asleep after nights.

DM: I know you run after night shifts, you’ve tweeted before.
[I haven’t, because I don’t.]

Blocked & running routes will change for a while.

Men, please don’t.

I wish goodreads let you give ratings by the half star

@ann_noddles @samantlebooks @S_GroveCeramics She’s clearing a space on her mantelpiece as we speak!

[Frances Maynard @perkinsfran1]

@MarkHPearson @samantlebooks @S_GroveCeramics She would - one of every variety at least!

[Frances Maynard @perkinsfran1]
