Thank you so much for such lovely words! And I'm thrilled that you took the time to let me know in detail the bits you especially liked. Actually, I *am* English, I was born and grew up in the UK ( from a very looong line of Scots). But I've lived abroad for nearly 17 years now - hence the nostalgia for Bonfire Night!

And thanks for pointing out the typos. Due to some bloody awful weather complications I ended up posting this from a file that had only my eyes to spell check it, so I need to know what I missed!

Friend away, rosie :))
