Thanks so much to The Authors' Club and @schulercj.bsky.social for inviting @househistorian.bsky.social and I along to The National Liberal Club last week to chat about 'Doors of London'!
Just received my PLR statement for 2023-4. Not a vast sum of money, but pleasing to know that Along the Amber Route was borrowed from public libraries 190 times that year.

Thanks. I actually drafted an email requesting a TPO when I first got wind of this, but didn't send it as I thought negotiation was still possible and didn't want to escalate. My mistake. I have sent it now.
Excuse the rant, but this kind of environmental vandalism makes my blood boil.
