You're so kind - thank you!

Thank you Helen! So kind. Delighted you enjoyed it

I will have a dig

I love Test cricket.

I'm also quite heartened by the experience of sharing a story on here... The old place had become a desolate hellhole for actual readers

ah man, so kind. Delighted you've read all those!

thank you!

You're so kind to read it and respond so thoughtfully... Thank you

thank you!

Thank you - I'm so pleased you enjoyed it

You have a Thuillier print?? Tell me more?

thank you!

Wow - to serve in two world wars... That is something. Gallipoli was a horror.

Thank you so much!
