Surprise...
Imagine my suprise to arrive home in rainy old England, only to find it hotter here than in Sardinia!!
BTW, to all my lovely readers in Malta, another beautiful and fascinating island in the Mediterranean sea, while I was in Sardinia I thought of my many happy years in Malta the moment I slipped (alright, girls, stop sniggering... flopped into that clear blue water again!)
I'm sure you'd like to know that I swim like a porpoise...
(Unfortunately, unwieldy version, no flippers, no tail...), but even I couldn't resist the lure of that gently lapping water.
I think of my friends in Malta all the time, and miss them... it's easier to see peoples smiles when they have their heads up looking at sunny blue skies, rather than when their faces are huddled beneath scarves and winter coats, don't you agree?
But we mustn't judge people by their chilblains and red noses, because I have some wonderful friends right across the world!
ps the yummy 'Merto' drink on Sardinia is made from Myrtle berries- I should have said that... juicy and delicious, it's very, very moreish.
To all my friends in Australia and New Zealand, hello, and thank you all for sharing your excitement at the prospect of encountering Sheikh Kahlil of Abadan !
The Sheikh's Captive Bride is one of my favourite books, so I really hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it (Kahlil,the brute kept me up late for weeks on end wondering how I was ever going to melt his stony heart! Of course, I didn't- that job was ably done by Lucy Benson!)
To all my readers right across the world, Hi! it's great to be able to speak to you like this. Now I've got to go and tidy up the garden, which has run riot while I've been away.
Love to all, and happy reading everyone!
