I have been doing my Christmas cards. I have realised that something went wrong with my list last year because the list was short whereas I like the fact that it is a moment when one can contact people one has half lost touch with.
This is a moment for me to thank my readers – a small and mostly invisible community which I scarcely knew existed until I stopped blogging for a bit (all of a week) and was touched by the numbers of people who I discovered were secret readers, not necessarily known to me.
So, thank you for being readers and Happy Christmas to you all !

Happy Christmas to you and your family too. It’s a strange thing this blogging lark. I don’t have a huge number of subscribers but when I wrote about grief, they came from everywhere. Kind, thoughtful and appreciated. Have a wonderful Christmas x
And a moment for us to thank you, Charles.
Happy Christmas to you & Romilly !

Thank you – and everyone else ! Charles
Happy Christmas to you Charles, and thank you.
And another Christmas wish for you and your family from Down Under. I am a complete novice when it comes to art and architecture but I’ve learned so much from your Blog.
Happy Christmas. Thank you – as always – for the recommendations, most recently the MJ Long, the gold and silver wire exhibition at the Guildhall and the film Anselm (which I found infuriating – but it’s always good to be provoked!) Keep ’em coming!
