"The Cat Who Came In From the Cold". I was living in London at the time and was reading it on the tube. I was laughing so much that a woman seated nearby tapped me on the shoulder and asked me what I was reading. Bearing in mind the usual unfriendliness on the tube this was a real breakthrough. Deric was thrilled when I told him.<br /><br />Hi Rachel. I had the same conversation with my husband. Sadly, we seem to be loosing someone we know most weeks at the moment. Perhaps it just comes with getting older!wannabe a writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692361757891220849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287254861041709729.post-91835532755794501172011-09-18T08:05:40.622-07:002011-09-18T08:05:40.622-07:00I too was shocked to hear of her death, and had a ...I too was shocked to hear of her death, and had a conversation with my husband, whilst trying to explain who she was.

And those four words she gave you, what a wonderful gift.<br /><br />Deric Longden is one of my favourite authors too.Teresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.com
