Judith

Seeking a book club

I have had diverse careers which include BBC Television, legal services and for a CofE Diocese. I am retired but engaged in voluntary work and write quite seriously. I would like to join a local book club, as both a literacy and social activity, but also to ensure I make time to read as well as write.
