Hallelujah! Hi Ian and Banbury Friends, I went out to my postbox, mid afternoon and there it was------ THE ENVELOPE!!! The books had arrived and I have been glued to them ever since! Of course I have been skimming so far, but I am so pleased with what I have seen. Later, I am looking forward to settling down to a "good read". Ian, you have done such a marvellous job, expending much of your personal time and effort to edit, and publish our stories My most grateful thanks. recently,we have disrupted your life quite considerably, and now perhaps you can "take it easier" for a bit. Dare I suggest, that having "met" some of us, especially offlist, you will never be the same again? The speed of the outward postage took me by surprise, especially as my Bank Draft took 18 days to reach you! Perhaps this time it travelled by something faster than an Auster Trainer plane? I'm so happy, that I could do cartwheels, but it would be inadvisable at my age! I never mastered them in my youth as I was an awkward child, gymnastically; my wrists let me down time after time! I had more sore heads than I can count, and stuck, 3ft from the ground when climbing the gym ropes! Nowadays I would do myself a mischief---no doubt about it! Well, I will cease burbling with happiness, and get back to the books. Kindest regards, Muriel, (aka Polly).
