Island life

I'm back from my little travels, so prepare to be blogged at once more.

When I do go away, I rarely go far.  Have I mentioned I'm scared witless of flying? I know it's sad, I know it's illogical, I know it's the safest form of transport, I know all that, but fear defies logic, or mine does, anyway. 

I don't like the take off, I can't bear the landing, and the bit in between I don't care for at all.   And the fear has got worse, rather than better as I've grown older, so these days I tend to holiday at home, or near it.  And I also love the south west of England to an extent that it takes some beating in my mind. There are plenty of great places to explore here, so that's what I tend to do.

Anyhow, what all this is coming around to is that I've been on the Isles of Scilly, which is a convenient 20 minute helicopter journey away, well worth it for the treat of the Islands. I did a little book event when I was there, the first in the series to promote The Balance of Guilt in fact, and I'd like to say a few thank yous -

to the people of the Scillies for making me so welcome, the library users and book club members who came along to the event and were so kind, the lovely people at the St Mary's Hall Hotel for their hospitality, and Linda and fellow interviewers of Radio Scilly, for talking to me for their bookshow.

All in all, I now feel refreshed and relaxed, and am most grateful for it! 

I'll be doing a few more events to support the new book.  If you're interested in coming along to one, there are details on the News and Events page - www.thetvdetective.com/news.html  Hope to see you there...
