Dear Reader, the Beachcombing family is now awaiting Emily with trepidation: Mrs B can, as of today, give birth to a non-premature baby and the midwifes are buzzing like flies around ripe stilton.
Huge thanks to those who sent in emails below and also to Invisible, Chris S, Ricardo, Wade and Amanda for sending in links. For the first time in a year no one has won the index biography. I’ll give it another 48 hours then reward myself a book.
BTW Beach stumbled upon this naughty link (the gods of copyright will be very angry if you open), but it is, well, simply incredible: enjoy…
Have a great November and think of Mrs B in her birth pangs. Rather her than me.
