I wrote a comment but it seems to have disappeared… lovely read as usual. Exciting things happening - I love the portrait session idea! I don’t have a mailing address but do love getting mail - also my favourite film 🎥 I hope to have a home within the next 6 months and look forward to having an illustration pen pal - there is definitely a bigger idea here. Like Andrea I cannot cope with any form of email notification so I don’t receive the newsletter in my inbox. App only here

I'm the same: I don't get any to my inbox either. But I've noticed that the vast majority of people who open my newsletter do so in their email, not Substack. I suspect that's because it's so easy to subscribe on the app that we end up with far more than we can actually read.

I know, illustration pen pals is something that's percolating in my brain...

I'm staying and asking for more. I wish you a sweet November Robyn!

PS: I think you have the right to eat chocolate even without an advent calendar

I enjoyed this, Robyn. A great read. Your kids sound endlessly entertaining… and distracting 😂

That is the perfect way to describe them!

Thanks, I'm glad (and surprised) that you enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this, thank you. We watch (all separately, because we go at different paces and I like to put it on while working; and, actually, my husband doesn't join in, because it is not 'his type of thing') Gilmore Girls every autumn. But I am now determined to add watching You've Got Mail into my autumn watching rotation after reading this. I am also having a yen for watching Sense and Sensibility, actually. And maybe re-reading it.

(I probably will do almost none of these thing, because I tend to get excited about something and then forget and move onto something else.)

Ooh, yes Gilmore Girls is very autumnal. I'll add it to my list. And I have a feeling my husband would enjoy watching it too. It's definitely his type of thing. 😋

Ah yes, good intentions. I'm sort of the opposite: I get all excited about something and drop all the other somethings to get it done right away. Hence the online portrait drawing and all the other stuff in this newsletter. 🥴
