I am an Australian traveling in Scotland when on a bus sitting next to me was a young Scot reading one of the Sharp series. I loved them and we talked. He said how he feared coming to the end of the series,for what would he do? I realised that I felt the same and was remiss for not letting you know how much pleasure you have given me and many others. Several years ago I was in Port Macquarie NSW and came across the grave of the first governor listing the Peninsular War battles he took part in including Badajoz and I recalled your account of the forlorn hope. History comes to life!
Thanks and all the best to you and yours.

Ps. Bumped my motorhome into the bank getting a better look at Bamberg Castle. Such is life.
