Today did not start well: I slipped going down the stairs first thing, and now have a very large and painful bruise on my bottom. And my dignity. But then I heard from one of my reviewers, the lovely Jo at Jaffareadstoo, and she has written me the most wonderful review. I’ll leave you to read it for yourself, but it is such a fillip to my spirits, and makes me determined to get back to Sam this very afternoon. I’m beaming like a loon.

Dear Susan
Firstly, a very happy New Year to you and to my fellow blog readers.
I’m sorry to hear about the painful start to your day but, as you say, Jo has written an excellent review. She reminds me of someone else who has a way with words (no prizes for guessing who .. but they are very closely connected with this blog!).
I was also glad to hear about the ever growing word count for “Plank 4” ….. 5,371 and counting!
Best wishes
Graham
Dear Graham
Happy new year to you too – here’s hoping that 2016 is a good year for you.
This particular point – research mainly done, writing just started – is the worst for me, as it all seems such a huge task, but a review like this one helps enormously. We all need encouragement! And having to report my word count to you lot is certainly an incentive to get writing.
Best wishes from Susan
Dear Susan,
As you know Jaffareadstoo is always delighted to be in the company of Constable Sam and the more than capable, Wilson. We are eagerly awaiting news that the word count for Plank #4 has reached its zenith…happy writing in 2016 !!
Dear Jo and Jaffa, Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement – I will chivvy Sam and Wilson along, as at the moment they are dithering around admiring a miniature portrait of a little girl. As you can probably guess, things are not quite as harmless as they seem…
Best wishes from Susan
