Many of these stories are based on real events, and the author's
own experiences - such as a visit to the Morteratsch Glacier in
Switzerland with her sister in l966, which inspired "Murder in the
Mountains". An organised coach trip through Austria in 2006 with
her husband and several curious characters is faithfully recorded
in "An Austrian Adventure", but with all the names changed. In the
story "Jennie's Oak" this old tree existed in Hazelbadge Fields in
Poynton, Cheshire where Carol and her family lived for twenty
years. "Bedside Matters" was a painful recollection of the author's
stay in Maccles - field hospital. "The Speaker for Tonight..." was
gleaned from many talks given by the author to various
organisations over several years and is apologetically accurate.
Many of the shorter stories grew out of suggested titles given
during Creative Writing classes, and projects for homework. This
collection follows "Soap In My Eyes", 2005, memories of her career
in television, which is still available to order. "DiVerse Re
flections" published in 2012; "From Bottisham to Barcombe", a
childhood journey through the second world war; "Stage Right",
sketches and monologues for ladies; "Simply Stage Struck", the art
of acting for amateurs, are all available from Fast-Print
Publishers. In 2011, Carol wrote "The Cob Story", published
privately in Porthmadog for the U3A, to celebrate the 200th
anniversary of the building of the great embankment.
