Damien our publisher suggested Mummy might like to hear about Queen Boadicea an Ancient British Queen based in EAST ANGLIA who stood up to the Romans and won battles against them. He said he thought they had much in common. Found a picture of the statue of her (Boadicea) on Westminster Bridge in War Chariot. Deirdre said she thought Mummy would not approve lack of clothes but anyway took it over to show her. She reported back that Mummy has now come up with the idea that if she does go to Saffron Walden she would like to make it a sort of Royal Progress with car followed by Sidney Stiggins driving his Rent A Van carrying her mobility scooter. She does of course always like to travel in convoy. She spent a long time looking at the picture of the statue which unfortunately shows knives on B’s chariot wheels. She seemed fascinated by the knives, D says. Maybe she is hatching a plot to have her mobility scooter customised! Nightmare!
