We’re not quite there yet but the finishing line is in sight. Our (second) Greek book has an ISBN number and the printer is booked. We have a few more photographs and sketches to get on digital file. I’ve just written brief biographies of each of us for the end of the book. Why do such boring things not stay done? I don’t know how many times I’ve written different versions of different lengths for different purposes. At least today there was a bonus. In my hunt for inspiration, I came across a quote from Gerald Durrell who’d praised our first book on Greece. He said “It is rare that you get a married couple who complement each other as well as Susan and Peter Barrett do, for her magical prose complements his delicate and lovely pictures so well and his pictures add a new dimension to the prose.” Well, it must be rare to find an artist-writer couple who have been married and working together for 58 years, and who continue to work together and are still married. Long may that last!
