Thank goodness I can enjoy reading good science fiction without having to commit to welsh gulags torture (actually I took the family to that pontins for a weekend break a few years back! ). <br />Easy does it now on the real ale. I was reading your work last night with a pint of hobgoblin and they were quite comfortable bedfellows.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462169056716498505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-18169762056931241662012-02-08T12:32:14.454-08:002012-02-08T12:32:14.454-08:00"Basically, I'm a writer.

And I do wish you weren't so circumspect. Whatever could have happened with the entertainment? A quick google reveals nothing. <br /><br />Now I'm worried. I've committed to Eastercon, my first comm, ever.

Instantly I knew, only two names: Alastair Reynolds, Iain M Banks (I know he doesn't fly but it's close enough to Scotland to go by train). I'm glad they took my suggestion (and likely that of many others) onboard and you were invited along. By the sounds of it you enjoyed it.<br /><br />My mates who came along last year balked at the idea of staying an a Stalinist gulag in Wales and paying for the pleasure this year, which is why sadly I missed it. <br /><br />Last year at Camber Sands there was plenty of coffee, whilst the accommodation sounds similar. The fast food joint on site ran out of food on Saturday night as if it had been attacked by hungry locusts, or perhaps greenfly?ENCOM Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286081223430034423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-23292681327728577112012-02-08T07:12:50.627-08:002012-02-08T07:12:50.627-08:00Whoa!
