WORDS in ACTION

Between storms, I travelled to Norwich and on to deepest Suffolk at the weekend.   Not so much ’4 weddings and..’ as 4 trains and a boat!  All the connections dovetailed, I got there and back on schedule – and the sun shone all day Saturday until a full moon came up over the Blythburgh estuary.

I had a fun time reconnecting with my publisher and fellow authors.  Shocked though to realise that ‘How to Stop Flogging a Dead Horse’ came out in 2006. Have promised to send suggestions to the commissioning editor.

It was quite bizarre to be transported from power cuts to a wine bar in Norwich and thence to doing Advent stuff with the Vicar of Wangford.  This included singing evensong in a thatched church, standing opposite my sister (said vicar), me being the other half of the two person choir.  The splendid organist sang along and the congregation of half a dozen or so seriously elderly folk joined in heartily.  How, we wondered, had the journey of our lives,  sometimes lived half a world away from each other, brought us to this moment?
