Been on holiday with my partner Peter, much looked forward to. Unfortunately it was interrupted by a phone call telling us Peter's mum was in hospital in Scotland and we were at Chichester the other end of Britain so we had a dreadful drive all the way back to Swansea and from there Petr's gone on to Scotland to see to his mum. I'll go and join him next week. My daughter will drive me to Cardiff airport because I'm the sort of person who can't find my way around a Tesco store without getting lost!

 Brighter news lots of emails from you and re my new book what about finding titles for me as one of my readers suggested? The book is about ww2 and a girl called Hari who falls in love with the enemy, a lovely german man whose mum is English but who ends up in a prisoner of war camp in Wales called Island Park. Is the love doomed or will love overcome doubt and predjudice?

Hari's friend Kate, a lovely Irish girl gives her all to the young, very young men going to war and gets herseld a sleasy reputation into the bargain. Meryl, Hari's thirteen year old sister is wise for her age and tells her side of the story with her own distinctive voice. 'I think I'm going to die tonight' she says as she sits under the dubious 'safety' of a table. Who lives who dies in the terrible raids that flattened the town of Swansea is a story of j=human lives and loves and the very real fear of never seeing another sunrise.

SUGGEST TITLES PLEASE!
