Hi, Rusty!
We are just back from the park, having narrowly avoided the rain.
It is now raining fairly heavily, yet sunshining at the same time!
April showers in May?
I have "A Rope - In case" and "Beautiful Just!" in my Second Omnibus.
Did you look to see if the books are illustrated - and if so, by whom?
I really like my sketchy drawings!
I am now going to do a search on Amazon for more of "Becky's" books!

Hello, Elle!
Just had my stewed steak dinner and it was fine!
My books are "decorated" by Douglas Allan, too.
The are very good decorations, I think!
Still dry here.
My son says we need a "freshet" in the rivers to bring the salmon in from sea.
A couple of days of rain would be welcome.
I see you have tennis every day next week on EuroSport.
The qualifiers for the French Championships.
Hope you find some more of Miss Peckwitt's books!

Hi, Rusty!
I am glad you enjoyed your steak dinner! It sounded delicious!
Liver and bacon with mashed potatoes, and onion gravy, is on our menu tonight.
Now........I have been doing some investigating.
As far as I can ascertain, Lillian Beckwith has only written seven books in the Hebridean 'series', the last one being one of those you have just ordered... "Bruach Blend".
So this is now the only one that I have yet to read!
I have ordered it from ebay for £2.03 , free p&p. Good condition.
I have also chosen a novel by her, called "A Shine of Rainbows", about a small boy who is adopted and then taken to live on a lonely Hebridean island.
( Apparently, this was also made into a film.)
1p from Amazon. Very good condition from W of B.
I think I have done well?

Hello, Elle!
Liver and bacon is very tasty!
Yes, you should always check eBay.
The prices there are often cheaper than Amazon.
Yes, you have done well!
She has written several novels but I have never tried any.
I have started "Crowdie and Cream", which is about a boy growing up on Harris (where the tweed comes from).
Miss La Bamba and me are going for a bacon roll tomorrow!

Hi rusty

I'll have to find "Crowdie and Cream" - we loved Harris when we went there. I really enjoyed "The secrets of the sea house", also set on Harris

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, dinner was very good!
I love liver with lots of thick onion gravy.
I do check ebay, Rusty, but I go with Amazon if I can, as I have an account there - family and friends give me vouchers and gift cards, you see - and so it works out "cheaper" for me to buy books from there, as I'm not actually paying for them.
I will let you know what I think of Miss P's novel about the young boy.
I am looking forward to reading it.
I am glad that you like Douglas Hall's "decorations"!
The seventh book, "Bruach Blend", is also published by Arrow , so I expect I shall find his drawings in there, too.
Time now to watch "15 to1"............

Hello, Chris,
I have the Omnibus edition.
"Crowdie and Cream", "Crotal and White", and "The Corncrake and the Lysander".
Just tried a few pages but I think it will be very good!
Try Amazon or eBay.

Chris,
It is 1p on Amazon plus p&p.

Thanks, rusty - ordered.

Do try "The secrets of the sea house". It explains mermen!

It looks a good read, Chris.
I shall save it in my wee list!
