message 2: by Adele

Adele Broadbent Thanks. NZ winter weather gorgeous and sunny! Perfect for curling up in a sunny spot with a book!


Majenta Hi, Adele! Thanks for the Friend Request--Accepted! Happy July, how's the New Zealand weather? "Lissa Evans" was a familiar name to me--from her TV and BBCRadio(online) work! What a happy surprise that she's an author! I hope your writing is going well. Happy writing and reading and everything else.

Best wishes from Majenta
