Hello,

If you’re new to Love Letter, you are so very welcome. Usually, I just launch right in, but there are a few things I have to say, so bear with me for two ticks.

  • Of the ten people who wanted to come forest bathing, only six have paid. If you indicated you were coming but haven’t paid, I sent an email with account details on Friday, 6 April. If you didn’t know about the event but would like to come, there are currently four spaces open. Please let me know if you could like me to send you the payment details.

  • Related to my day job and not to Love Letter: I’m offering a mid-year finish-your-book writing coaching special, which you can read about here.

For queries about either of these, you can reply to this email, or you can DM me directly on Substack.


The crab

I was mugged on Friday afternoon on a busy street in bright sunlight.

The sun was bright.

The street was busy.

I got mugged.

Before violence comes knocking, you always wonder: how will I respond?

Because you cannot know until you know.
