Great stuff Anne. Very funny - had me chortling out loud. But - uh, you are published. Is it just that you're not telling your mum?

Well done Anne. The bit about the drainage reminded me, in a good way, of Bill Bryson account of bored farmers in the American mid-west who become mesmerised by the whirring innards of their combine harvesters and begin wondering what would happen if they just inserted a finger...

Thanks, all.

Hope you enjoyed the blog, Emma - thanks for reading.

And, Roger, I never tell my mother anything if I can help it. Also, I'm so far self-published, not commercially published - though, to be fair, that will change later in the year when Flame publish "A Dangerous Man". Still, the statement holds true for now.
