Gosh I haven't read a Monica Dickens book in...an age.

Hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend, B, and have our lovely sunny and warm weather :)

At last, a real comment and not spam! The b******s seem to be targeting me today.

Freezing cold yesterday morning, but the weather has been glorious this afternoon, thanks. Lovely smell of wallflowers everywhere.

I haven't read it but it sounds fascinating. I enjoyed My Turn to Make the Tea, which I read when I was a young journalist.

And yes, that working-class community spirit said to have existed prior to the arrival of a certain prime minister... As the book says, too often it wasn't there at all.

It sounds a depressing book but I read it very quickly, usually a sign of a good read.

I don't think people have changed much. 'Why didn't you say something/report this?' 'It was none of my business.'
