Such a wonderful, comprehensive interview Diane; I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I wish you well in your ongoing/ future projects.
I took in a sharp breath of understanding when I saw your reference to Don McLean’s ‘Vincent’. Someone asked me only the other day what would be my all time favourite song and guess what was my reply?! 😊❤️ Xxx

Thank you, Christine! Regarding “Vincent”, there are no coincidences, are there? I had the chance to see Don McLean in a small outdoor concert when I was in college. And I must thank you for the lovely comment you posted in the comments to the interview on Christoph’s blog. Bless you! Hope your New Year is off to a good start. XO ❤

I think I will start my new Year again after my visit to the doctor tomorrow. After beginning to feel better I developed a persistent cough on Xmas Eve and Im still coughing. John insisted I go to the doctor so Im going. I don’t want to end up in hospital again! X❤️
