Well hullo everybody – and welcome to the all-singin’, all dancin’ new-look website!  This is my first ever blog.  I’m an utter cretin when it comes to anything remotely technological and 21st century…make that 20th century.  If I could, I would write with quill on parchment.  Which wouldn’t be much use to you because my handwriting is nigh on illegible.  So, this site is brought to you by me being a Bossy Breeches to the over-worked, under-appreciated but awesomely talented James Beechinor Collins.  We have lots of new ideas in the offing – including regular video updates.  Do drop me a line and tell me what you think!

At the moment, I am at home with Georgia who is off school with the lurgy which she has oh-so-kindly passed on to me.  I could give Rudolf a run for his money with my glow-in-the-dark nose.  A kindly little old lady in the Post Office queue told me to drink a concoction of a raw egg, a spoonful of sugar and chopped onion.  I don’t think she like me.  Christmas looms and I’m as excited as ever as this time next week we’ll be in North Yorkshire.  Many of you will remember that Pillow Talk is set up there – so I’ll be following in Petra’s footsteps and visiting her old haunts of Stokesley, Runswick Bay and of course an ice-cream at Suggitts in Great Ayton, whatever the weather.  I’ll also be going to Saltburn for a mighty blow-through on that spectacular beach…my new book Secrets is sat entirely in Saltburn so I’ll be taking up-to-date pics to publish in the novel.

Right, I’m going to follow JBC’s Idiot-Proof-Guide-to-Blogging and try and post this.  If it works, my next post will be four words long…
