I’ve been having a bit of an Angela Lansbury moment this afternoon having sat down at my new Imperial typewriter to bash out the next instalment of ‘Murder She Wrote’ – oh if only…..

This is it,  my Good Companion portable typewriter -

and here’s the rather stylish metal carrying case  -

You may be wondering why I bought this little piece of  last century cutting edge technology.  There’s no reason other than I saw it in the local reclamation yard last weekend and thought it looked lovely.  I resisted until today when I obviously decided it was imperative that I own an Imperial portable typewriter.  There it was sitting on the same bench – it was meant to be.

It does actually work and I’ve typed a few words but the carriage return sticks a bit, no matter, I think I have a long way before I publish my first novel.

I’m very pleased with my purchase, it was the typewriter or an iPad, how could I not.
