Yes, she is is giving our sacred game a going over. Her next book, decided after she had lunch with Sir Alex Ferguson, is going to be called "Tackle" and well, it is going to slay the dragon.
At 79 years old she is not one to shirk a tackle, so having fallen in love with Nailsworth based Forest Green Rovers she reckons she knows enough about overlapping full backs to provide a few thousands words worth publishing in her latest novel.
Forest Green Rovers are run by Dale Vince and I have spent some time on them before, so it only needs a search button to find about the Gloucestershire club. Go on treat yourselves.
To suit the ladies, Rovers are vegan friendly, run on Ecotricity and narrowly missed out on a place in the FL last season, losing to Grimsby ( we couldn't be further away from green issues with them could we?) in the NFL play off at Wembley 3-1. Jilly thought they were all "sweet" and deserved more. So why not advertise their issues.
Jilly, who has a passion for Emile Heskey, who is massive up front, wants to move away from her Rutland Chronicles.
Ok this is a short blog and I can explain that I drove four hours to get to Charterhouse this morning, have endured a lovely lunch and copious wine as well a various fund raising games before watching the Friars (the old boys CC) take on the Lashings XI for charity. All good fun, very restful, now where's that bottle of red?
