Hi Jane,

Posted on Thu, 07 Aug 2025

Hi Jane,

I've never been to Birmingham

Posted on Fri, 01 Aug 2025

I've never been to Birmingham, so it was a real treat to read about your trip. I've been a fan of Ozzy and Black Sabbath since the 60s, and feel so sad that he's gone. I really hope his wife Sharon will be okay, it appears to have hit her so hard...

Completely engaged in this tense drama. The idea of being chased is so fraught with danger, adding to the suspense.

Brilliant story. Can't wait for more JoAnne.
