I sometimes notice a place, a house or a building and it just catches my fancy and I know that sooner or alter it will appear in one of my stories. Look at this great front door and knocker, and what a good name Meldene…. Meldene may of course change into being a character… the Right Reverend Eustace Meldene, maybe? Or Timothy Meldene, head of house in a posh independent school? Or how about Maltravers Meldene who lives on a barge, a scion of a noble but decayed house, who tries to make his living with rather dodgy art? Maybe it should just remain as the name of a house…!

Perhaps Meldene should be a Pug? He sounds like the sort of dog who eats truffles.

Oh he does, doesn’t he! He reallyshould be a pug! Thanks for the suggestion… I don’t think I’ve had any dogs in my books yet so maybe he will be the first!

Whenever I hear about pugs I think of that revolting one that Anne Offley had. Do you remember it? Funnily enough Dominique Cole and I were remembering her and the pug when we met up in France in June

It was a disgusting creature… I was thinking of Anne the other day as we were going past Calne where she lived after Oldham
