We’ve been enjoying a few balmy days here in London and the hens have been strutting their stuff in the garden.  Well, not just the garden.  They’ve also been bravely exploring the kitchen if I leave the back door open and I was very surprised to find Alice underneath our kitchen table this week!   Hmmm … I’m not sure about hens in the house.  What do you think?

On the writing front, I’m just a few thousand words away from typing ‘The End’ for my new novel, Mr Darcy Forever – this is the third and final book in my Jane Austen trilogy and it will be a very strange feeling to finish it although I am looking forward to launching into my next project which is a closely-guarded secret at the moment…
