"Yes, words can be a balm or a harm. Katie Fforde will know that. As one of the country's leading romantic novelists, they are her stock in trade. Lovely woman Katie. Her hobbies are "singing in the local choir, flamenco dancing, shopping and watching television". But you wouldn't know it from reading Cotswold Life, the free glossy magazine delivered to homes in the area. For in its description of the 100 great "movers and shakers" in the area, it transposes her citation with that of ex-Blur bassist Alex James. Thus, erroneously, it describes her setting aside "years of champers and cocaine excess to embrace the idyll of Cotswold farm life". She'll find that hilarious, her agent tells us. Hope so. Wonder how many libel lawyers move and shake around there?"
