I'm hoping to get Carly back from the garage tomorrow, and, assuming all
goes well, will be in touch with Richard and Daffy to arrange a
Beds/Cambs List-Meet shortly thereafter. A UK List-Meet somewhere in
the centre of England later in the year sounds a wonderful idea. Put
me down for a flyer once you get it organised. Please bear in mind
that the centre of England, geography notwithstanding, is somewhere to
the south of Watford Gap. <g>
Where exactly are you based? I shall be driving Carly to Richmond in
the North Riding on Friday week, D.V., and I think I shall be going past
your door (or within a couple of dozen miles of it at least). It would
be fun to introduce her to Saskia, and to scrounge a cup of coffee of
you.

I hadn't been, but that is mainly because I have had so many other
things on my mind recently (including the book-launch and the cruise)
that I have become completely hopeless at organising anything like that.
(I'm supposed to be in Winchester this weekend, apparently, but it
escaped my notice, and now I can't get a hotel room!). If I can sort
myself out, I might well see you there.
