From left to right: Sue Barnard, Yours truly, Leah Fleming and Fiona Lindsay |
Take a bevy of authors, a sprinkling of comedy and an abundance of home made cakes, add chilled Prosecco, good company and mix well. Leave in majestic surroundings for four hours and watch the contentment spread.
This was the perfect recipe for the Romantic Novelists' Association afternoon tea held in the historic city of York last weekend. It was great to meet up with new friends Sue Barnard and Fiona Lindsay as well as popular author Leah Fleming whose novels I first discovered more than twenty years ago - and have been a fan of ever ever since.
The highlight of the day was an hilarious talk on 'Northern Birds' by best-selling author Milly Johnson. In case you are wondering, Millie is not an ornithologist, but an expert on the workings of the minds of the Northern woman, as well as an accomplished speaker!
This was my first event as a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and I'm looking forward to many more.

Thanks, Elaine. If my daughter didn't live in Yorkshire I'd never have found out how friendly people are 'over the border!'
Hello Marilyn, Home-made cakes chilled Prosecco, and good company – how perfect, I'm not surprised you had a good time. I hope you get to enjoy many more such times. xx
