The best blossoming tree in the world is this flame tree here in Cairo. Here it is only a month ago . . . a must see . . .https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2036389734493720427

I've now got my manuscript back all polished up after proof reading and including things I'd never heard off like parenthetical en dashes. The lady was kind enough to say she enjoyed the writing . . . hopefully the first of many!

Also got an illustrator on the case for a couple of maps I need at the start of the book to lay out the land for readers. We have a call on Tuesday . . . I would like something Swallow and Amazon-ish and have had a lovely time reliving that book by looking up the illustrations on line.
