Alex and I were very generously taken out for a lovely meal at Arras in York by good family friends Mary and David.

Alex was more interested in the petit fours.

From Message from the Skies, the virtual walking tour run in Edinburgh during January.

Message from the Skies at Greyfriars Kirkyard

The walking tour ended in Greyfriars Kirkyard, where these spectacular neon signs ensured that women writers had their name in lights.
