My Interview on national radio !

Just before I escaped to soak up the visual beauty of the northern Italian lakes and mountains, I took time out to shoot down to Pimlico ! What's in Pimlico ? Amongst other things ,the studios of Premier Radio. I was there by invitation to talk to Maria Toth, presenter of their daily women's programme WOMAN TO WOMAN about my book ENJOYING LATER LIFE. It was a good experience. You can see the twinkle in her eyes here, and she was able to chat to me, check any emails coming in on the subject of the morning - being older- and make it so entertaining  ! Maria certainly has my admiration.

Yes, and the book is on Amazon both paperback and kindle, and you can also get it from the publishers, onwardsand upwards.org

I haven't any oil paintings to show you just now. On holiday I did pen and ink sketches of villas and palm trees, and turtles sun-bathing, but nothing really to show.

It's already an e- book !

The English language is changing rapidly ! Who'd expect a word like KINDLE, which according to the dictionary is "to light, inflame, set on fire",to be used in connection with electronic books.
Each time I've travelled by train recently, someone near me has been reading their e book on a kindle !

AND my own book, ENJOYING LATER LIFE www.onwardsandupwards.org, and on Amazon, can already be bought as an e book, even before the paper-back version is out.
I am told that already there are lots in the USA who are reading it !

This is not the same world as when I published my book called ENJOYING BEING SINGLE ( which actually I wasn't. The publishers changed the title from COPING WITH BEING SINGLE.) That was over 30 years ago !

Now I can announce the publication date - 19th April !
Hope you enjoy it yourself or give it to your mums and aunts and grandmums !
More in a few days, if the Easter break allows it
