Can't wait to read this! Many congratulations on your new book (I loved the others). Having been brought up in Scotland it was honestly the worst thing ever to say you maybe, just maybe quite good at something. You were cut down quick sharp if you ever did. I moved down to England for uni and was amazed at all these English people sharing how great they were at things. But maybe I was only seeing an inkling of what is possible! (We are a funny lot us humans, aren't we?) Anyway, it was honestly a breath of fresh air for me at the time and I have been trying to be a little bit more full of myself ever since. I hope you have started a movement!

Thank you Bryony! You hit the nail on the head. I've recently got offered a new job. But I didn't want to come across as boastful or full of myself. So I refrained from telling near enough most of my friends about it.

I'm really excited. It's a new challenge and I am thrilled they choose me out of 45 applicant's! So, yeah! Thanks for reminding me to celebrate my own achievements. I'll be buying your book for sure! Thank youuuuuu X
