Absolutely appalled at the UK PM Boris Johnson and his coterie of lying toads. Morally bankrupt is the only expression that gets close to describing him. And as for that smug coy grin he puts on when asked a difficult questions by a journalist trying to insinuate he is some naughty school boy who had been up to some mischief like making an apple pie bed for Matron as opposed to being a grown man who has shown nothing but disdain and disrespect for the voting public, who he clearly thinks are below him on every level.

The third in the trilogy has taken longer than planned to arrive due to, yes you guessed it, the pandemic. The second book came out the day lockdown was announced last year in March so most people, including myself were not downloading books to read they were sitting rigid on their couches staring at Boris Johnson giving his daily briefs of horror. I still find it quite hard to believe. But hallelujah here we are jabbed and raring to go once again, with masks, which can be a blessing at this stage in life to be honest, the grumpy face is hidden in public places, but communing once again with friends and family. And what a joy that is.

Blue Skies literally and metaphorically speaking, introduces a host of new characters to help, hinder, annoy, and entertain the current cast of characters. Remeet Maddy, William, Noel, Mouse, Hamish as they set about the most exciting project of all, sorting themselves out!

I really hope you are enjoying being out and about and your reading brain is back, I know it took a while for me to get mine in order, but the writing and reading brain has kicked in and so the optimistic gate of a woman with a big bottom is back!

30 minutes story telling meandering with John and I, this week we cover unusual ways to control your baldy heid and get into a ridiculous chat about charisma, what is it? And which unexpected celebrites and even a politician have struck our podcast presenters Alison and John dumb….even dumber than usual? More tales from Johns life as a gigging drummer, stories from family, friends and memories..his unhealthy obsession with Susan Hampshire….yawn.

We guarantee no politics, no religion and no reason to avoid.

We also hear from Kenny Kemp, the man who ghost wrote Richard Bransons biography and swanned about the Caribbean boozing with the man himself. In fact he had so many great tales to tell, at the end of the podcast we tagged on the unedited interview, which is a real insight. into life as a Ghost Writer.

We hope you enjoy it.

A new review popped up today which reads…if you click on the links you can read all about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a breath of fresh air! Cheered me up no end.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2021Verified PurchaseDownloaded it last night and just finished it. A great read and just what I needed having just had my jab and am dreaming of getting back to normal life as I lie on the couch bored. I live in London now but am originally from Scotland and it just made me want to go home, I am now googling cottages in St Andrews. Off to download the next one in the series.

GET APPLE FREE BOOK OF THE WEEK

Just after I heard about this, someone else told me, it is also buckshee on Amazon too!

After a swift gin and tonic I checked….yes it’s true! So here’s the link for Amazon download too.

GET FREE KINDLE COPY OF NEW BEGINNINGS HERE

So if you download your books from either of these providers it will. Be nuzzling into your Kindle or E Reader for nothing.

The 2nd book in the trilogy Snowdrops is only 99p on Amazon too…phew! It is all leading up to….the launch of  the final book in the trilogy titled Blue Skies At The Birdie and Bramble in May 2021.

Clearly I am overexcited. I can’t help it!

As no money will be changing hands this will not be contributing to my Caribbean holiday fund but it really helps the visibility of the book which rolls out in any number of positive ways which is just…well…fabulous!

So as ever, please enjoy a huge virtual hug.

Thank you so much for your support….

Brought to you by the original Radio Forth Zoo Crew they are naturally funny, warm and a little bit naughty as they reminisce of days gone by .
