Rory Muir, hands down. It's excellent.

Bless her. At least she's eating a little!

Oh she's gorgeous! I hope she's feeling a bit more confident now.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I've only just seen this. I'm so sorry, but how lucky she was to have found you at the end of her life. ❤️

Yay! I just came on to look for exactly this! (I'm Merry and Pippin's Pigmum)

More and more people seem to be coming here -- it was quiet at first but I'm seeing many more familiar faces now!

***waves*** hello!

Oh my goodness! I was just wondering about how you were doing the other day! We're all well -- I've just got a new job as a librarian and the kids are preparing for exams (!) How are you?

I hadn't even seen that till someone else pointed it out to me!

The author was clearly not much fun at parties!

Two guinea pigs, one black and white named Merry and one black, buff, and white named Pippin, scoffing a breakfast of lettuce leaves and green pepper in their daytime run, surrounded by various boxes and toys

Some good morning #GuineaPigs for you all

Isn't it lovely? I hope it leads new readers to the book!

A view of St Paul’s with Nelson’s funeral being staged with a large crowd gathered in a bowl around the coffin which is under a plumed canopy. A tall cylindrical lantern hangs over the coffin with lots of points of illumination on it. The scene is framed by a large Spanish flag to the left and a large French flag to the right.

Thank you :)

Thank you! (As well as for the reference -- haven't had a chance to email again! Happy new year to you too!)

Thank you :)

Eventually I hope so (it's part time), but initially there may be a bit of a hiatus as I get settled in!

Thank you -- I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in!

I'm afraid I've never used one of those 😂

Thank you! :)

Thank you! :)

Take your time! I hope you continue to find it interesting :)
