I felt as though I was walking on air when I went up to receive my Award. At that time it was sponsored by Reader's Digest, and I actually had to climb on to a dais and have a gold crown placed on my head.

We are a closely-knit community, I wonder if I knew her . . . I dedicated my first novel, Ring of Clay to my own mum, who as a lasting sadness to me, was never able to read it. Rose, one of the main characters was based on her.<br /><br />Angela, it seems ages since I saw you. One of these days, at one of the Conferences, we will meet in the early hours of the morning and share a cup of tea again!<br /><br />Lizzie, bless you!

I find it very reassuring that an experienced writer like you also finds the dreadful synopsis writing a trial. Just finished doing mine for the NWS and it's like pulling teeth. Now have got to learn to leave it alone. Good luck with Song for a Butterfly and your new novel which you are editing. I'm sure they'll both be a great success.Lizzie Lambnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611561027305931377.post-57173865869511662862012-03-02T18:31:15.053+00:002012-03-02T18:31:15.053+00:00Lovely to read your interesting story Margaret.

We had some hotel guests some years ago who came from Staffordshire and were meeting friends from elsewhere for a reunion. They brought oatcakes and asked us to add them to the breakfast menu.
