Brilliant round up as always, and perfect note to end on for the year. Happy Christmas - hope you get plenty of dressing gown time (and less falls) 🥂🎄 x
Thank you so much for including my poem, Tom, in this wonderful Christmas Selection Box. Watching the video of you reading it at ‘Write UP’ was a very special experience for me.
I love the 1939 Christmas list, and the diaries sound fascinating. I will enjoy working my way through your recommendations. I hope the new year brings better health for you and that you manage to have a good Christmas xx
Thank you for allowing me to include it and being part of WriteUP! So glad my reading passed muster too. The diaries are fascinating. Hope you’re recovering well. Happy Christmas! X
Recovering well, thank you, Tom. Your reading was so perceptive of my feelings as I wrote the poem. Forever grateful to you for bringing the poem and Danny’s story to a wider audience.
Your Christmas jumper - as Christmas jumpers go - is certainly among the front ranks of questionable apparel.... only to be worn at this time of year. I applaud your courage and commitment. It actually looks good on you!
I wish you a very happy and, especially, healthy year. May you go from strength to strength, and write a few more of your very entertaining pieces.

Thanks so much, Robert - very best from us too!
I love your great aunt’s modest 1939 Christmas list, Tom. (Was Jennings the dog?!)
I’m made up by your generous words about Wendy’s World. Thanks so much.
Really hoping you have better health in the coming year and that you have an enjoyable Christmas. x
Thanks Wendy! No Jennings was a boss I think! Only her siblings get first names here. Have a lovely Christmas too! X
Thanks so much for the mention, Tom! x
It’s all true! X
Thanks so much for being a fantastic collaborator on WRITE UP. I'm going to listen to all those audio recs, right up my street.
