Hi All Greetings from a very dreary and overcast West London today, brightened by my find of a book called The Tolpuddle Woman by E V Thompson, ISBN 0747210535 1994. Although fictional, set in the social upheaval time in Tolpuddle of the Martyrs. Haven't read it yet, so cannot pass comment, but just wondered if anyone else had come across it before, as usually only the factual literature gets a mention. Regards Sally

Sally - Greetings from Barrie, Ontario, Canada where spring is just starting to show its face. No, I hadn't heard of this book but as I'm going to the Library tomorrow I will check it out. Hope everyone had a good Easter. I went to see my new grandchild. I'm biased but she is just beautiful and so well behaved for 7 weeks. I will be sending pictures as soon as get them developed.

Hi Donna, Sally and all, I too will check out this book, I wonder whether there is also a factual account of the effects of the Tolpuddle trial, in Dorset, on other Loveless family members - closely related or otherwise. My Loveless branch in Dorset left for the Kent coast in 1833 which was a fair journey to make in those days and I have often wondered whether that move was connected to the 'scandal' surrounding the Loveless name. Anyway thanks Sally, from a bright, sunny and warm Qld going into Autumn but we haven't had to get the pullovers out yet. Not that they stay on all day here in Winter anyway!! How's it down South Irene? Wishing you a warm and sunny Spring over there.
