Lovely to see this at Somerset & Dorset railway. Today I'm thinking of the WAAF women in my book who died in the line of duty.

We had a great time at the Jane Austen Centre yesterday.

Jane Austen is one of the very few women who didn't go in my book simply for being very well-known and not an "unsung" woman! Maybe one day, most of the women in the book will get their due!

Whilst we were there, I couldn't resist writing my book's title with a quill!
