(Mabel, it may be interesting to try to weave a story out of that, but it takes a special type of person to be a writer, and a crime writer at that. I suspect I haven't the twisted imagination necessary for a crime novel which is why I'm a reader, rather than a writer.)
(Mum never played an instrument in her life, but always dreamed of playing the tympani, and would happily "play along" when watching a concert where they were played)
(on a walk with a city-dweller friend a few weeks ago we came past some highland-type bovines, and she asked "are they cows?" Later on the walk she also asked whether snowdrops were flowers. London's Edgware district is obviously a desert.)
(A light non-bake lemon & lime cheesecake is my favourite. This recipe is very close to the one I use. Takes a bit of time to do and you really need a mixer: https://www.philadelphia.co.uk/recipes/ ... ke-189093/. I double the base ingredients. Orianna doesn't have it because it's too rich - something I'm very happy about as it leaves more for the rest of us.)
