Hi Joe

Just in case you may have tried to contactme again, I thought I would write as I have had computer problems....this one needs replacing when funds allow...however I see you are writing a book and I would be interested to hear the details as I belong to a small Writers Group here in the UK, and we like to hear from others who enjoy writing. Perhaps you could reply to me on   emrys@agas77.freeserve.co.uk   as my other g mail account doesn't seem to work that well. Best wishes...Emrys

Oh yes, that is also where Ron as somebody who has designed the glamour may have much wisdom to add too.

Hi Joe, excellent forum...just off to bed though, will read all the comments tomorrow...thanks again

Hi Joe, somehow I overlooked your message regarding possible Writers Groups in Brittany. I've started a discussion on the Brittany People group wall. If you can search out any info and post it on the Brittany People wall, I and other interested folk would appreciate it. Cheers, Linda

Thank you Joe, I don't know if it can ever go back to being a discussion now.

Hi Joe,

Long time no speak.... yes, it would be great to meet for a drink before Christmas.

We've sold our house and will be moving to a gite in Pluherlin on 17th December for a few months while we rebuild the new project. We're wine tasting this weds and quizzing on 6th Dec but available most other eves... when's good for you? :-)

Thanks Joe!  We've had an amazing (total suprise) weekend in London, just got back home.  Hope all is well with you....x

Hi Joe - thanks for the kind words on our project - it's been quite a journey and still a year or so to go - not sure the TV would've been able to air all the bad language nor would they have had the patience to wait 5 years or so to see the finish!

No - I've never smoked so not heard of that method but it worked for you and now you can pass on the good word to others.  Are you registered as a therapist here in France?  If so, how did you do it?

Will be in touch if I ever get the energy to do the french/english thing and pick your brains.

Take care for now

 

Kate
