Dear Followers,
As my New Year’s Resolution, I have decided to try and live as someone from the 40s and 50s might do - for one month. This means, from midnight tonight, that I will not be posting for the whole of January (no computers!)
I would love to talk to you, so if you wish, please leave your address in my ask box before 12 o’clock tonight and I will write you a letter!
Love,
J
