Ian do you know why Nancy Revell chose the address for Gloria in one of her books. I’ve read all of the Shipyard Girls stories. The thing is Gloria’s address is my house. Can you imagine my surprise when I read this. Gob smacked dosent come into it. Did Nancy Revell know somebody who used to live here in the past. I’d really like to know.
