Dear Bernard,
When I was a little boy some 75yrs. ago my dad told always to remember that I was one of Ida’s men. It was many years later before I realised what he had meant. I beleive that we may have something in common in that I understand some of my ancestors may have been keepers of Bamburgh. The stories of Uhtred therefore bring back race memories. Please do not be tool long writing the rest for at 82 I would like to finish the series.
Your other books are not bad either,
Yours
Bill Turnbull.
