A friend met me at a party looking particularly gleeful. He had found a copy of my book about Stradivarius (i.e., yes, violins) in a charity shop: no need for me to sign it as I already had - to my daughter's violin teacher

Today I’m marking seven years since our 10yo daughter Cleo died. In truth, I’m choosing to celebrate her. Because not a day goes by when I don’t think of her. And yes, sometimes that thought still comes with that tight knot in the chest, the one that never quite leaves. Some days, I still cry.

I know I will enjoy this last episode. But there'll be a lot of sadness too: a similar feeling to the death of George Macdonald Fraser and the conclusion of the Flashman series, when there was still so much to say. My life will be poorer for the end of something that has brought it so much pleasure.
