  3. Well done Gail!! I hope that the new Filofax has at least one Tailor of Gloucester item from the lovely little shop near the cathedral BTW hope that charming wee shop is still there... it was my favourite book when I was little.LOL!! I got all the answers right and so I am thrilled with my little self. I think I struck lucky with my web searches as I got to the answers quite quickly. Not usually the case. Great fun Steve- thanks!!

    1. I guess I'd better de-lurk ... I'm Gail from Gloucester, and I'm very excited - I think the last time I won a competition was about 10 years ago!

      The Tailor of Gloucester's house shop is definitely still there (one of my daughter's favourite places - she's a huge fan of the book, and all the other Beatrix Potter books.)

      When I work out what I'm going to use it for, I'll happily let you all know. Particularly tricky, as I've just recently got myself a Flex A5 which I've switched most of my day-to-day stuff into.

      Hmmm. Better go and put my thinking cap on!

  5. Congratulations, Gail! How funny to be the subject of a trivia question! I used the nickname because I wanted to write anonymously at first. When Steve and Laurie joined using their real names, I decided I should do the same. Also, a commenter had done some online research and revealed my identity, so there was no point trying to be anonymous.

    Originally, the nickname Inky is one of my husband's nicknames for me in real life, deriving from my love of fountain pens. To him, it seems that I'm always messing around with ink.
