Hello!
Festival fever is mounting here at the Centre; we are all so looking
forward to the 9th annual festivities. Will you be there? If any of you
are planning to arrive in Bath by rail, the trains will be disrupted on
the 19th & 20th, so please check. Most inconvenient!

Filming
has begun in New Delhi for a Bollywood version of
‘Emma’. I
really loved 2004’s ‘Bride &
Prejudice’ and early
reports of this new movie promise that it will be just as much fun. |

My
beach read whilst sunning myself in Sicily last month was
‘Sepulchre’ by Kate Mosse. Apparently I should have
been
reading Jeremy Clarkson or, more likely, ‘Pride &
Prejudice’. Discover the top 30 beach reads of all time.
