Helen: Your blog has become feverishly anticipated in our house. So yes, even a one week delay made for speculation - a glass (ok 2 glasses) of wine certainly conjured up some conspiracy theories on the delay - ha ha.

We love how lyrical and alive your descriptions of your travels and observations are and it makes us long to return to being flâneurs in our favourite towns and cities.

Your blogs take us away from 'Covid Corners'. Your whimsical yet erudite prose make us feel optimistic that the redundancy of our days is simply time to rest and dream of all that is yet to come.

With anticipation for your next blog and your book! P and R

Great to catch up. I've filed this issue of your newsletter under London Trip as Derry and I are counting the days-weeks-months (sob) before things are normal enough for international travel. I also downloaded The Ghost of Galileo and pre-ordered Anna's book to keep me busy. (HA!) Cheers, SDH

Helen, what a wonderful journey with you. It brought back memories of my own first trip to London. Yes, I was home. I look forward to reading your posts although I’m not certain twice a month is nearly enough.

Hi Helen - this was really lovely to read with my breakfast. A meandering monologue about writers, writing and the cities that are often their muses! Looking forward to the next one.
