Hi We went to London with friends, first to see the flowers displayed inGreen Park, and then to walk i a part of London none of us knew - along the Regents Canal. The authorities had arranged matters so there was space to walk around the bouquets, and space for new ones to be laid; it was impressive...

Hi Arlene, I am so sorry! I do not know how it happened, but the first four or five pages worth of partially edited recording got superimposed on the file which otherwise had been edited.

Hi Here is a long chapter in which I think Trollope gets right under the skin of his characters. I don't know whether I shall have time to edit the next (very short) chapter until we come back from holiday - there is a fair amount of getting ready needed. https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/...

Hi Arlene, I am relieved you are alright - these days, with COVID, one never knows! I am sorry to hear about your mother; but great that she is recovering so well. Does she live a long way from you?

Hi We had a lovely time in Switzerland - beautiful scenery and exactly what we were looking for in terms of gentle valley floor.
