Should have name changed for this but I'm to lazy, oh the shame Grin

After seeing Mrscampbellblacks nick name on the s&b threads. It reminded me how much I enjoyed her books. Can anyone remember what sequence they follow before I pounce on the second hand book shops.

Was it polo, riders, jump.

I was going to start a thread about Jilly the other day !

I am looking forward to my upcoming maternity leave as they are perfect reading material when you want a good story but don't want to think too much.

I love all the Rutshire Chronicles but Rivals is my absolute favourite.

Am looking forward to adding them to my kindle actually I got Hmm looks from people when readnig them out in public in the past.

I want a kitten .
Might get 2 , Taggie and Tabbie
Cosmo and Rannaldini ?

I love Rupert ( but actually love Billy more )

Happily I found Jump in the charity shop in hard back for £1-99 to replace the paper back I lent to my sister

DameHermione · 03/05/2012 21:38

I know far far too much.

DameHermione · 03/05/2012 21:38

Poor dear rannaldini was murdered most horribly.

I left darling Bob (who was very gay) am am happy at the moment with Sexton (and i think had a daughter with).

However my artistic temprement cannot be controlled and i am a martyr to my moods and whims.

are you still with the mad composer or are you a widow now? I can't remember Blush
