How encouraging to have such splendid reviews, and such well deserved reviews.
Bliadhna Mhath Ur. Hope your sales are going well. Think your reviews look very encouraging. Novel would make a great film, too?

Bliadhna Mhath Ur to you and all of yours. That’s really interesting. I remember two of Neil’s sons coming to visit my parents – Sandy and Neil/Derrick – is that right? I’m eternally glad we were able to record all my dad’s stories. I’m sure there will be differences with your own family stories but that’s all part of the fun! x
