Thank you for letting us know, I look forward to listening whilst wrapped in many layers against this bitter weather. I actually prefer the Isabel Dalhousie books, do drop him a hint to write more of those would you?

This has been scheduled especially for me - it's my Special Birthday Treat!
I read the the whole series of 44 Scotland Street one after the other just before Christmas, it felt like having a whole box of chocolates without feeling sick. I was knitting presents at the same time so I could justify the time spent 'sitting' - better than shopping any day.
Not long now.....

listening to it now...such a great man to listen to:-)

Thank you! I caught your post half way through the programme and switched stations immediately. Must catch the rest later.

I went on a cold but enjoyable winter walk across the South Downs but made sure I was back in the car by 4pm to listen! I agree with you, I enjoy the Isabel Dalhousie series most of all.

I met him in person at a book signing here in the States. Absolutely sweet and delightful. He stood for most of the time to greet and sign books. I was very impressed.

Claire

I agree with some of the other comments. Don't enjoy the African ones, Scotland Street is good but I love the Dalhousie novels.

Slightly late, but happy birthday, Carole! Hope you enjoyed it.

Serendipitously this was on as I was driving to work and I was charmed, I've never been as entranced by Mma Ramotswe as my Guardian-reading background would suggest. But 44 Scotland St is now on my list for this year, who couldn't be delighted by something that still makes its author laugh years later.
