Interesting about the Dorset books tying in with other series - thanks for the information. Heck didn't realise next RG book will be the last. I shall so miss RG I really will. Glad you agree about Ruth and Nelson! But I thought that might happen after Michelle had the unexpected baby but it was not to be! I am afraid I will be buying it as soon as it comes out!!!!!!

The Dorset ones I have read are a spin off from her Birmingham ones and now she has a new series set in Glasgow with one of the Birmingham characters moving up there so all three series are interweaved with the same characters. Much as the Joy Ellis ones. I loved the Locked Room and yes as the next is Elly Griffiths's last of that series for now (she announced this on her facebook page which I follow), I hold out hopes that Ruth and Nelson will be together. We'll see:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-81295128876362589302022-10-07T09:01:45.376+01:002022-10-07T09:01:45.376+01:00CherryPie Thanks so much.

I will have to check the Faith Martin series of books. I am slowly reading Inspector Morse set in that area but finding them a bit dated!<br /><br />Midmarsh John - Thanks so much. Ice plants do seem to return every year. We have several ad a lovely maroon coloured one. Although that doesn't do so well as crowded out by other perennials. Its not been a good for fuchsias for us either.

They seem to have been in bloom for weeks now. My fuchsias in hanging baskets have fared badly though.

Oh fried green tomatoes sound good thank you for the idea.

Will probably see a few more things again before Christmas. Little surprises to pop up as the weather turns colder. I know you haven't got enough green tomatoes for chutney or anything, but what about fried green tomatoes? I remember eating them when I lived in the South. That is Virginia, to be exact. Which isn't Deep South, by the way. They were actually delicious. I'm sure you'll come up with some way to use them.
