May blog

dear Readers and bloggers. Been haiving a bit of trouble with PC but I hope all is well now. My last blog was at Christmas which practically ruined me financially as my large family all had to be bought presents. Good time all the same. New news no book out this year, not well last year had an op for gall stones, All well now. New book underway but not yet finished, will be published next year. My new paperback will be out at Christmas (Gordon let your mum know.) 

Peter, (partner) has had to have his mum enter a home albiet a lovely home. She is ninety four and at least we know she's safe and well cared for. He is away at the moment and I'm really missing him. He phones every night and tells me how much he misses me, loves me etc. 'Don't tell the mums this they'll think I'm soppy and sentimental.

Family news great I have a new grandson, my son Paul' and his wife Maria's first, a lovely little boy his name is Joseph Paul and I love him to bits.

 

 

Speak soon,

 

Love Iris
