star is a British spy! Margery sings for his birthday at the Berghof, hears
about the new Tiger tank and realises how urgent it is to get this information
to Churchill whilst being shadowed by an SS thug. Margery also conceals escaped
British airmen in her luxury Berlin
apartment and meets MI6 agent John Brown in Stalag IIID when singing to the
PoWs. John also obtains the location of a tank factory before facing
torture."

Thank you for coming yesterday

Thank you for coming and to Kim Rix for speaking yesterday, it was a great talk, and as we sat down was a bit longer than usual but even the challenging questions made it for being a thoroughful enjoyable evening. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did.

For those of you who did not make it through the "Extinction rebellion" who were very peaceful, you missed a very enticing talk and the opportunity to buy Kim's book.

You still can do this though through here website: https://www.gemstonedetective.com/

I have started mine and am already fascinated by it.
