Monica, I hope you don't mind if I thank you here for the enjoyment your books have given me and with an Irish/Australian background myself, the humour in your books has had an extra appeal. My eldest brother began his working life as an apprentice in the NSW Railways and even though he has now retired from work as an engineer he still meets with fellow train buffs. You obviously have some very special memories of your childhood in South Australia and it must have been very sad for your dad when the trains stopped arriving.
Looking forward to more of your wonderful storytelling.

Best wishes,
Kim
