In recent years I always try and avoid London if at all possible, but through necessity I will be spending the day there on Tuesday, December 11th. As Hilary Mantel is giving a talk at the Drapers’ Hall that evening I thought I might as well book a ticket and see what she has to say. Looking at her picture I didn’t see any horns coming out of her head, so I will attend with an open mind and judge her on her views and opinions from the evening. I think it will be interesting, although I don’t know if she’ll add anything to the talk James attended earlier. Call it research and please don’t hate me for it. I’ll just go away now and paint a target on my back.

That sounds great, will you be asking her any questions? I hope she does add a bit more to the talk for you- though do be warned she did cop out of a question directly regarding Anne & i noticed she did have a tendency to not directly answer some questions but give very long winded answers, but she is a great speaker though i’m sure you’ll have a great time
