A remarkable actor and a very beautiful woman. To me, she is ever Emma Peel in the T/V series 'The Avengers, between 1965 and 1969, but of course she played many other parts, including a Bond film and "Game of Thrones".
A very sad day.

I'm gratified with the number of people wanting the spreadsheet reconciling the Dulcie, Jenni and Serendipity series. Just to remind you, I need an email address and your preference for format - .xls .ods or html.
The site mail doesn't have an attachment facility.

A reader - X.Z.Mouse - has prepared a spreadsheet which collates the chronology and crossover between the three series. I've just tried to post it, but apparently it is not acceptable. Anyone wishing a copy can request it via the site mail by sending an email address.
It will, of course, require updating at intervals.

I'm constantly surprised by the popularity of my Dulcie stories even though I love my character a lot. There's an element of wishful thinking - as in most of my writing - as religious life is rarely as straightforward as Dulcie's and her friends, and I, for one, am less than happy with the way that church authorities behave, sometimes. Dulcie, of course, lives in a Christian 'universe', and her encounters reflect that, but she's tolerant, or accepting enough, to be friends with others of different traditions.
I will soon be posting a sequel to 'The Older Woman', which will fit in before 'I'm a Believer'. The lives portrayed are not easy, but perhaps are easier than what we can expect for ourselves. It's not real life, it's fiction. It's to be enjoyed - I hope.

Several readers have been kind enough to comment on details of the episode, and I have just submitted all four chapters with corrections, including some minor modifications from me on re-reading.
Apart from that, other readers have said nice things about my health issues, which the NHS have dealt with very well. I've taken Oscar out on the road for the first time in weeks and am fully active again.
I have several other stories in (slow) progress. I expect the next to post will be a sequel to 'The Older Woman', entitled 'Sharlene', but please don't hold your breath, it'll be some time.
