By Christmas I too will have 6 grandchildren. Our 4 grandsons will be joined by two girls (unless the scans prove to be wrong). First could be born any day but is due September 11th, second due December 22nd - time just flied by.

Well, it was meant to be purple, but it was more of a sad and sickly mauve. I'm sorely tempted to have another go now!<br />The research is for another book, but as always, I'm plagued with self-doubts. I have the characters, more or less, and I'm hoping the research will make me more confident about the setting as I don't have Berlin to rely on this time! xxxJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.com
