Thank you so much, Ray! As you are on the committee of The Nelson Society - which is once again ignoring my very polite request to flag up the new paperbacks - perhaps you could twist the odd arm. The National Maritime Museum is also ignoring my letter, as is The National Museum of the Royal Navy, whose artworks I catalogued and who then plagiarised my work. Good manners in short supply all round, I think.
Re Mary Moutray et al, there really isn't enough known about these girls to put together a good story and to be honest, I'm really Nelsoned out - even though I can see Victory, when she has masts - from my house on Portsdown.
Also there is my husband (at sea for 51 years RN & MN) who is fed up with living with the 'tria juncta in uno' and feels that if he has to live in a triad, he would like a change from Emma Hamilton!
Best regards, Vanda
