Those of you who aren’t getting my newsletter won’t have seen my post from Ireland, complete with a recent photo of Dragonhold-Underhill. But you can go to the Newsletter page and see it there, if you’d like!

I’ve been here now since the 13th of July and will be heading back this coming Thursday.

The weather has been brilliant, mostly sunny all the time and quite pleasant.

I was really lucky in that a friend of mine, Geoff Hilton, whom I’ve known for over 40 years, and I managed to get together for a short weekend and catch up on all the various news.

Ceara and I have been re-reading the Harry Potter series because she’s following someone who’s never read them while he writes a chapter by chapter critique (he’s loving it, naturally). I also re-read Diana Gabaldon’s brilliant Outlander and happily re-read Patricia Briggs’ Silver Borne and am glad to report that I’ve got Ceara reading the first in that series, Moon Called.

The copy-edited manuscript of Dragon’s Time will arrive tomorrow and I’m looking at getting it sent back before I return to the States myself.

Mum’s in much better form than she was in April and really getting about now on her new knee and hip although not without aid from a walker which is not at all bad for 84!

Cheers,
Todd
