With all due humility, I couldn't have done it without inventing it and deciding I was my own richly deserved recipient. I will be holding a reception for myself later today, in the kitchen. 🕊️🏆

Congratulations, Judi! ✨

Atmospheric and beautifully haunting, Julia. Congratulations! 🤍

Thank you so much, lovely Julia! xx

Ah, same, especially my other half. Lots of fuckssake-ing at the telly in these parts.

Gooner?

Congratulations, Em, such lovely news! x

Thank you so much, Katie – and great to see you here! x

Both the writing and the publishing of this article felt like an extraordinary act of allyship. Thank you so much.

Yesterday I needed to search for which Shakespeare play a particular passage came from, and was delighted to see it included in Poetry by Heart! You do such valuable work, and it's heartening to see the great breadth on your website. ('With hey, ho, the wind and the rain', if you were wondering!) 💨🌧️

Have you thought about gifting a loved one a full year of membership to the Pre-Raphaelite Society this Christmas? It’s only £15 for a digital membership, to unlock all the benefits, and it will really help us continue to do all the work we do- www.pre-raphaelitesociety.org/memberships/

This is a poem of such dignity and tenderness, Catherine. Thank you for your grace and strength in sharing it. Sending love and admiration. x

Oh goodness, that's incredibly generous, Peter, thank you so much! x

Makes sense 👌

You might want to avoid your business associates for a while...

I empathise, Kerry, and I hope you are somehow managing some self-care whilst looking after others. I'm thinking of you and sending love. x

Thank you so much, Sarah, that's very kind and much appreciated. Your Skara residency looks amazing! Wishing you safe travels home and the rewards of continued creativity once you are newly settled. x
