Send us Fan Mail Dear friends I look forward to taking you to Cornwall tomorrow for some time by the sea, some visits to local churches, and an opportunity to do not much but read and rest, after a long slog of a few months in Dorset and London.   If you pop by or if you join me most days, thank you.  I would be so pleased if you had half a moment to write a nice review and give a generous rating....
