Pauline Rowson entertains the audience of Ringwood U3A with tales of crime

On Thursday 19 June I had the pleasure of speaking to members of a very friendly and welcoming U3a at Ringwood. Ringwood is an historic market town in Hampshire (England) located on the River Avon, on the western edge of the New Forest. It’s situated between Southampton and Bournemouth.

Whose story is it? Pauline Rowson discusses viewpoint

I have no real set routine but I do like to write every day, speaking engagements permitting.



Some days when the words flow or I am at a…
