Line learning

Right. Time to learn some more of Dora's lines. Always the first thing I do, but it often takes a bit of will power to get going. It's mid-morning on a dreary Saturday in Clapham Junction. Just had coffee with my husband at our local Cafe Nero's (best of the chain coffee houses) where we were duly invaded by armies of screaming children. In the intro to her Plays:1, Charlotte Jones says that a line she read in a book inspired her to write Airswimming. "A Miss Kitson and a Miss Baker were placed in a Hospital for the Criminally Insane in the 1920s for bearing illegitimate children and not released until the 1970s." Wonder if I can work out what book that was. Isn't the internet amazing. Great for all sorts of things - particularly time wasting!!
