My final evening in Trieste. What a great, manageable city. And so much literary history, so many amazing bookshops. Plus vistas…

Middle son laughing at the kitten stalking the chickens round the henhouse, giant wolf dog watching impassively. A vivid spaghetti alla puttanesca for lunch..a rumbling storm and the house beginning to cool..maybe a little siesta..

What a lovely picture! Agatha and Peter always seem to have company!

Today began with a beautiful service at All Saints’ Church, celebrating the life of Agatha Christie in the place where she was baptised and where her family once worshipped. After the uplifting service, the Torbay Civic Society unveiled a blue plaque commemorating Agatha’s connection to the church

I get between ten and a hundred emails from book marketing/publicity folks, so I believe me when I tell you “renowned” has lost its meaning. Start overusing it at will, please. “Want some of my renowned chicken tacos?” “Read my renowned novel?” “I feel renowned today.”
