Do let me know what you think; I loved it! Long involved story, interesting characters...one of those "sorry it's over" books....

This is the sequel. Published in paperback on 2 October 2008 in UK. Not sure of publishing date in USA - it's probably already out in hardback anyway. One for your library run perhaps, Eileen?

Re: Cathedrals in East England.


What superb photo's. They just don't build like that any more. I expect apart from the vast amount it would cost that we don't have the experienced stonemasons anymore.

Some of the architectute in our cities is stunning - but irreplacable.

I've been round quite a few castles, cathedrals etc and each is more interesting than the last.

Anyone been on the whispering gallery at St Pauls in London? - amazing.
