27th June: It's arrived!

Today I manage to sort out the car problems. Checking through the handbook it is obvious from the indicator light that the battery (now eight years old) has reached the end of its useful life and is no longer taking any charge. I ring the dealer, who has a new battery in stock and arrange for the breakdown company to give me a jump start so I can drive over to Newport to get the battery fitted.
On our return our neighbour comes over with some packages. Fifty/50 in paperback. It is a thrill to hold the book in my hand, to turn the pages and to know that this is the result of several years of effort. I am proud and excited. The hardback copy will be available from next week.
