A small and belated September update for 2024, where I am still, after many years' membership, on 365 Project, also now posting elsewhere but wanting...
Just listened to you interview, Hazel, and it was a lovely interview and you must be very proud of your dad. It is so wonderful for you to also have a written record of what he went through during the war. Congratulations on the diaries being published.
Thank you so much, Marilyn for your comments and for your interest. It's all a bit surreal still as I tried so long to get the diaries published and had all but given up hope of so doing.
Just listened to your dulcet tones on the link Hazel, must say you came over very well what an very interesting interview, btw those cakes look very yummy
Thanks for the link to the radio show. I have just listened to your interview while having my morning cuppa. Excellent, well done. Hope it encourages lots of people to buy the book.
I have just listened to your interview Hazel, what a young voice you have! Very well done, a smooth faultless interview with no umming or urring! Hope you hear from some of the families of your dad's comrades.
Thank you everyone for taking an interest and leaving comments. I had to make a conscious effort to be clear and concise in the interview because when I get excited, I tend to talk too much and too fast! Ray kept in the room with me ready to make a secret sign if that happened! Doing the interview was much easier than the anticipation of doing it. (I think a phone interview adds an extra difficulty - you can't work on visual cues in a conversation.)
Beautiful and colourful at the same time. Your interview was great and so clear. I had to promote a charity once and as much as I am used to standing up and talking to people with my job I agree that the radio is something else.
Thank you so much, Marilyn for your comments and for your interest. It's all a bit surreal still as I tried so long to get the diaries published and had all but given up hope of so doing.
Peter, thank you. It was a good interview and Lesley Dolphin was great. The only thing is that I had trouble recognising my own voice!

Thanks! I spoke on the phone for this interview - maybe it was good for me as it made me slow down a bit!
