Isn't it :)

I just caught the tail-end of an interview with her on Radio 4's Woman's Hour, she read Prayer. I'm sure it will be on listen again later.

I know!!

AND what's even better is that she is reading here for the Bollington Festival in a couple of weeks time. All set up well before this was announced. So excited. I love her. Luckily I'd already bought a ticket but now M wants one too and I fear they may have gone like hot cakes.

Hope all well with you. i am now very fat. 30 weeks on weds. very fat and very scared! xx

You aren't fat! You are pregnant! I think scared is a perfectly natural state of affairs at 30weeks. My lovely neighbour is 32 weeks pregnant, and looks permanently terrified :(

You are going to have a great time,Liz and I saw Carol Ann Duffy in March, in a school theatre in the middle of nowhere, she was stupendous, I look forward to hearing what you think.

BIG hugs xxxxx
