Dear Bernard, Thank you so much for an entertaining and amusing evening at Ely Cathedral. My husband and I both enjoyed it immensely, and it was nice to talk to you, however briefly, and hear your appreciation of ‘our’ cathedral…even if you didn’t get to visit the Stained Glass Museum! I know this note is a little late, coming almost a fortnight after the event, but we’ve been very busy at ‘end of season’ re-enactment gigs – AngloSaxon (and Romano British), rather aptly. I do hope you get the opportunity to bring your wife over to see the cathedral, as you mentioned; it is a memorable experience, whatever ones personal beliefs! By the way, I was going to ask you to sign my longbow, but the weather knocked that idea on the head. If you do any other events, especially for Toppings, would you mind if I brought it along for signing? Oh, and sorry we couldn’t provide you with better weather for the evening, but what would The Fens be without water after all…just plain, dull old dry land you can find anywhere… cheers, and thanks again, Mary Hannigan p.s. I’m glad to read that you have another book to follow Gallows Thief. I do love your other books, but some of them are a little like a busman’s holiday for me! :-) Mary Hannigan
