Hi Bernard,

I was the reviewer on The Oxford Times and met you in the office on one occasion to review a book. Have followed you ever since and reviewed your books in that publication and more recently in The Northern Life, a local magazine. Just finished the final book in the Last Kingdom series – absolutely fabulous. Just sad that the series has now ended. At 81 I just wish I was still reviewing – would be lovely to give it some more coverage. Trust that you are staying safe in these troublesome times – I have had the two Pfizer jabs so feel a little more secure now. Every blessing.
