The Lady magazine - I'm in it.

Hi folks.
Just to say this week's The Lady magazine 6-12th March - a Pets' Special edition -  has a two page feature about my life as a vet with pic of me getting inspiration at my computer (oh yeh?). Also to my surprise they've put in a feature I wrote about llamas 'Darling Clementine'. The pic used there is one of mine - our baby llama gazing up at mum. Very sweet. That was a case of the pic selling the feature as is so often the case with articles.

woot MW! Does this mean that you’re an honorary lady? (only joking)

Carol

Will look out for it when I go shopping, well done.

Katy

Excellent MW, well done! I shall make a point of looking out for and buying a copy of The Lady in your honour!

Jay Mandal

Well done!

Incidentally, where can we buy The Lady? Is it generally available in WHSmith and the like? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it, although I’ve heard about it of course. Think my gran used to get it years and years ago.

Carol

Yes you can get it in WH Smiths, but I don't think they stock as many copies as other Women's mags. So buy early in the week. I suppose it just depends on local sales to how many they stock.
I've certainly seen it in local newsagents as well, so hopefully you won't have trouble finding it.

well done!  The Lady!  Now that's class!

Jacey

Well done, I'll look out for it.

I'm at a lass as to what to say, MW. You've certainly maid your mark and are virgin on stardom. Witch page of the Lady is it on?

Betsie

I've seen your stuff in The Lady - well done, it's just great. 

Nefertari

Well done! I will get it tomorrow.

Hurrah.  Gadzooks and all that.  Lovely thing that your article was about your llama!  I tend to think of vets dealing with dogs, cats and those little scurrying things like hamsters and guinea-pigs.

My son, Rupert, calls his clubnight Llamarama after his visit to Peru last year!  And he brought me a llama hair cushion back.  It's softer than cashmere and ten times as long.  Gorgeous creatures from what I see in the photos (his host's daughter worked at a llama farm and took him up there for a day to work with them).

Awwwwwww....  Will buy The Lady on principle now.

Well done MW.

Thanks for the good wishes and thanks esp to Betsie as it seems you've read it. The interviewer put together a very personalised piece with plenty of dialogue. What was really nice was that she bothered to e-mail it to me before sending off to 'The Lady' to give me the chance to make any corrections. And there were a few alterations I asked her to make which she did over the phone as I went through it with her. I thought that very considerate. I've had eight newspaper features and not one of those other journalists has ever bothered.

I've just bought the magazine and enjoyed reading both your interview and the llama article.  Well done!  Will try to read the book on holiday - never seem to have much time for reading at the moment.

Well done MW, now we can say 'I knew him when.....!'

Tessa Tangent

Read it now ... and well done!  Yes, the picture was great but so was the writing.  Don't denigrate your work.

Carol

Bought my copy of The Lady this morning.Had a quick peek, but not had time to read it yet.

Betsie

MW - what does it feel like to have a fan club?

Stan2

Well done, MW.

Nefertari

Just read the article, well done nice photos too, you certainly had an interesting upbringing.
Did your African Grey parrot say much?
I love the children's book Harry's Mad by Dick King Smith about an African Grey it's very funny.
Good luck with your book.
