I am going to Cornwall!!!

Back in a week.

Whilst I am away, my Private Secret Diary will be guest edited by my good friend Betty.

We have a long and fine tradition of guest editors here, from New York Comedian Jill Twiss to top TV writer Salvadore Vincent. Well, that's just about it. Maybe it's just a fine tradition.

Betty's an actress who, like Salvadore, prefers to write under a nom de plume (that is French for 'name of pen'). But of course in this medium it's what one writes rather than Who one is that's the thing. Please make her very welcome and I will see you all in a week or so.
