New website for Maria Kliegel fans to bookmark
Had a lovely email from Ms Kliegel this morning, in part of which she tells me about her new website that goes live from mid-July 2006. For anyone interested, here's the URL:
www.la-cellissima.com
It's just a holding page in German at the moment, so no need to pop over there right away.
