What a wonderful, fun-filled, exuberant post I loved it! 3 things:

1. Thank you so much for the kind mention I'm over the moon.

2. Totally agree with everything you said about jeans, I'm a millennial who can't let go of the skinnies.

3. I didn't know I needed the Jolly Postman back in my life until now and I need it in my hands and eyeballs immediately!

Haha! I feel you’ll be very lucky to find a Jolly Postman secondhand with all the letters still in the proper place! I forgot to mention my local Oxfam Bookshop was doing buy one kids book and get one free! So check out if yours is doing this too x

Lucy, I feel I just got an encyclopedia full of treasures!

WOW, thank you for this fun, resourceful, chuck-full-of-nuggets newsletter!

Oh, and thank you so much for the mention, I highly recommend everyone past 40 take some time to write their life out in bullet points, it's quite the humbling experiencešŸ’—

*ps i love youšŸ¤—

*pss not in a creepy way, but in the way Christy bathes with her kids - natural love from one human to another

*psss i know the analogy is not precise as I'm pretty sure I didn't birth you , like Christy with her kids, but I'm pretty sure you get me 🤣
