The beautiful pictures, the witty and informative entries you write -- such a nice slice of English living - an insider's perspective...<br /><br />My novels are set in Castle Combe, but I've re-named it as a fictional village - Chilton Crosse. It's an admittedly romanticized few of the Cotswolds, from an American perspective. The quaint shoppes, the patchwork countryside, etc. Much of the setting is from memory (I've only visited the British Isles once, years ago, but those pictures are burned in my memory).<br /><br />I've SO enjoyed researching England - the culture, the music, the holidays (Boxing Day! Who knew?), etc. I've used this site quite a bit for my research -http://projectbritain.com/ as well as this site, to get my dialogue right -http://effingpot.com/<br /><br />Anyway, I appreciate your comment!

I feel very honoured about having a special mention. <br /><br />Most important of all, it's very encouraging when a 'proper' writer thinks that my scribblings are of interest.<br /><br />Delighted that you are enjoying my posts and I now look forward to reading more of your blog. Especially intrigued to read of your Cotswolds novels - hope I will find out more about them in here.<br /><br />Thanks once again<br /><br />JohnsonJOHN SHORTLAND, Cotswold Hills, England.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11702000270961029986noreply@blogger.com
