On my (newly revamped) website, there are seven things you didn't know about me, which always get the same sort of response, but I bet we'd all have them if we searched our memories. We never think what we do is unusual because it isn't to us, just to other people. I'll do a panto post, Neil, eventually.Lesley Cookmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699182779296799170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-18959778093938767872016-01-21T17:16:35.214+00:002016-01-21T17:16:35.214+00:00Lovely to read about you, Lesley - what a variety ...Lovely to read about you, Lesley - what a variety of life experiences.

I also love the fact you describe your creativity as 'enforced'.

Conjures up all sorts of visions, each fun ones. Anyone who loves theatre and music has my vote, and one who writes the books I love to read, as it too. Pamela Brown rings a bell from my youth. I think she wrote 'A Swish of the Curtain,' which I loved as a child and which went so way to fuelling my passion for theatre, dance and music. You have good taste. Wishing you lots of success with all your books and lots of dosh to spend on your holidays, with some left over for other goodies. :)Jane Risdon Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979772710340659886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-38734020208205521192016-01-20T10:58:25.654+00:002016-01-20T10:58:25.654+00:00I agree, Gill.
