The Bent Tree's now up for PL.

Three weeks of packing till we move, if all goes well, and I'm determined to finish the book before then.

And with that, he mounted his bicycle and free-wheeled down the hill to Foodland!

Phew, managed the final story just in time to pack up microphone and kit ready for our move. I'll add a project description shortly, in readiness for cataloguing.

Although the author of The Great Unimpressionable doesn't say, I'm pretty sure that Toffee the Irish Terrier must be a pretty shaggy specimen.

Hello Michael; even more peculiar that (page 236) Toffee's absence, failure to greet Ned on his return, seems to have escaped both Ned's and Aumonier's notice.
Sadly, I thought, because such a blatant error does not prevent me from reporting this Reading as

PLOK

so, onwards and ever upwards, or as in your case, sideways to wherever you are moving.

Best wishes; but you already know that.
Cheers, Chris

Thanks once again for your dedicated proof listening work, Chris. It's been a pleasure working with you on this collection, and I'm sure there will be more for us to do just as soon as I've settled into our new place and managed to set up a recording space

. Let me know if you want to take up my DPL offer at some point.
