I first met her at a Blake's 7 meet-up in Manchester, which must have been in 1999; I had relatively recently moved up here from Cambridge, and was feeling homesick, so I think I gabbled about Cambridge a lot...
I have to admit, the Moomin books drove me wild as a child, and I've never tried them as an adult. They were read to us in primary school, and I did hate being read aloud to, which didn't help.
I've never met Soledad's mum, but Mr EA and I were lucky enough to spend some time with S in her home city, when she was gracious enough to show us round -- and feed us espresso/cakes!
