Just hope I'll be able to get about to do this as I've dislocated by knee and am laid up on crutches. :roll:
Doing back-flips and cartwheels again? ;-)

Hope you feel better soon - a dislocated knee sounds painful!

Just a slight update for anyone who is interested. My first interview takes place on 1st November @ 15.40pm, on BBC Radio Cornwall!

I guess I'd best rehearse my best voice! :lol:

Do they want you to use an authentic Cornish accent? ;-) :lol: I would find a radio interview very daunting!!

If you'd met me as some have, Robert, you'd know my accent is very Northern. :lol:

My hubby has had radio interviews for his books too, so he can guide me through before then! :lol:

It was just me being jokey. :oops:

Oh yes - I've actually spoken to you a few times at EB Days - only fleetingly as I was way too shy to get to chat with anyone much. It would be different these days, but back then I didn't know people so well as I do now, via the website. I've also spoken to Tony (obviously!), Anita, Eddie, John (Lucky Star) Nigel, Ilsa and several others, but I bet no one even realises it!! :lol:

I have always got confused between you and the more elusive Rob(Viking Stars)! Both have the same features. :D

Below is the photo of Rob(Viking Star) and Oscar from Spain. :D

I recall speaking to you at one of the Enid Blyton Days, Rob. :D

Good luck with the radio interview, Julie. I must try to tune into Radio Cornwall somehow. :D

You can find it online here, Eddie, and listen to past programmes too if you can't catch it live: https://www.bbc.co.uk/radiocornwall" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I'm looking forward to hearing your interview too, Julie! :D

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
