So very clever . . . . . . if you are not careful you will be in a new ‘Yellow Pages’ advert and there will be people going round trying to find your book as this did with J R Hartley’s fly fishing or whatever it was!!!

Love it! There was a challenge like this a few years ago, which petered out sadly but it was great fun. You’re rocking this.

  Thanks Su. The problem will be if the next challenge is to write the contents!

    I’m sure you’d do it brilliantly. It’s a great title to begin with.

  No, it’s just a phantom book for a blog challenge. It was fun to create, and I edited the photo using Luminar and added that sky.

  Thanks, Jo. An unusual challenge, but I enjoyed it once I got an idea in my head.

  Thanks Paula. No, not an autobiography 🙂 🙂 It is one of my favourite spots in Scotland, next to the Forth Rail Bridge, so I hope the dreams won’t be broken.
