The following is an abbreviated version of the report published in the local newspaper following the inquest into my great grandmother's death.

I've read the post twice and have missed the cheese dish both times...

[diglett]

The cheese dish is midway through the suicide note. (There is a sentence I never thought I'd write). "Directions followed to burn her marriage lines and break a cheese dish after her death. The letter went on..."

And yes, poor Annie. What a horrible man.

Will you turn this into a short story? Or perhaps a novel?

And do I get the feeling this is linked to your escape plans...?

[diglett]

I'm not planning on throwing myself in front of the last train up from Shoeburyness, no...

[picosgemeos]

No, I meant a career as a historian! ;-)

I will tell you more on Saturday :)
