Our first strawberry - and an agent dream.

We bought the plant a month ago and stuck it in one of the square mini-beds of our garden wall. This is all the garden we've got - a wall two cement blocks high enclosing a bed eight feet by two - but we've got chillis, mint, parsley, bouganvilla, cacti and a small tree draped in a solar-powered string of lights, so we've made the most of it.
One strawberry between the two of us! It only added a taste to sponge cake topped with whipped cream, but it was delicious.
                               ****
I woke up this morning on the tail-end of a dream in which the OH called me to the phone to talk to an agent - or possibly a publisher. I didn't quite catch the name, unfortunately, though the echo when I woke sounded like "Blueberry". Was this because of our strawberry, or a premonition? If anyone recognizes the name, please tell me - one can only dream!

  2. Could you have been thinking of Bloomsbury?

    Just in case it was a premonition I suggest you check in the W&AYB and sub to anyone with a name that sounds like the one in your dream.

    1. Bloomsbury? Perhaps you're right, Patsy! Do they accept un-agented submissions?

  3. I can't really broadcast her name, but if you were to email me I'd be happy to give you her name. Email on my blog and website.
