Well!  Would you look at this:

It was a very great honour to be asked to open the fanatastic, revamped main library in York… but I had no idea there’d be a plaque to mark the occasion and must admit to shedding a tear or two!  Anyway, last week, I went to see the plaque in situ.

What a thrill!  Truly on a par with winning the RNA award for Pillow Talk in 2008 and being chosen as ‘Listed Londoner’ on the Robert Elms Show on BBC London…
How’s your summer been?  Mine has been active, to say the least… There’s been a certain amount of gadding about – from fab events in St Albans, Leeds, York and Saltburn, to holidays in Spain and Wiltshire.  And of course, beavering away on my new novel Rumours which will be finished by Christmas and with you next Spring.
I’ve held some fun competitions over on my facebook page - and shortly, I will post up here on the website the results of ‘Heroes and Actors’ and also ‘Heroines and Actresses’ – where my facebook fans suggested actors for my characters.  Some very inspired proposals!  Of all my characters – male and female – one stood out for having at least twice the number of entries than any of the others…  Good ol’ Django McCabe!  Two of the actors suggested were utterly brilliant…  David Essex ….and Bernard Cribbins!
I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but it’s been peee-ing it down, here in Hertfordshire, so I’m going to cheer myself up as I close now, by posting photos of my wildflowers, which were planted from seed at Easter.  Glorious, hey!  Enjoy a wonderful bank holiday weekend – and I’ll be back on here shortly.  Thanking all of you for keeping in touch and for being such a warm and supportive group of readers.  I really am soooo grateful.  Freya x
