After the blogger meltdown...

Annoyingly, I've lost posts and comments, so am briefly repeating myself: but just wanted to urge people to listen to Ancient Mysteries on Radio 4, before the series disappears from BBC iplayer. Five 15 minute dramatic monologues, based on interviews with dementia sufferers, it's the best thing I've heard on radio for a very long time: touches of T.S Eliot and Alan Bennett, but completely original...

Yes, absolutely absorbing, well worth listening to...

I caught one the other day about the high heel court shoes. I found it strangely gripping. My 87yr old mother in law is showing signs of this disease so it also felt a bit morbid to listen to. Facsinating how the mind retreats back to times before, as if it is full and cannot take on any more.

This isn't the best place to put this, I know, but I've been reading your Chanel biography and for some reason this nagging question popped up just last evening. It's this:
How and when did Coco learn to speak English?
Thank you for humoring me! Am loving the book...was it fun to research?
