We're going to see her at an event in Whitley Bay - where much of "Vera" is set. Unless the Covid rules change again.

Still reading "Murder-on-Sea" by Julie Wassmer. It's very good, bit I've been distracted/busy this week. Even went to see a football match (just the second in 2 years).

Stay well.
