A blog in themselves of love and gratitude.

Most sweet to read.

I’m on my last few stories and will miss it when the last page is turned.

The book writing, illustrations, paper, binding, typography and layout is fantastic. I’m always showing it to people like some rare artefact.

Thanks again for your wonderful work!

I may not manage every day but always catch up and occasionally reply. You have made all of our lives a little richer.

I discovered your site earlier this year, browsing in on a curious whim, and started reading. And that’s pretty much where I stayed. ‘Favourite that!’ I thought, and that’s exactly what I did. Every post is delight, it really is, and to read that you think of yourself as a ‘slow writer’ makes me hang my head in writerly shame and vow to try harder. Thank you! Here’s to you, and the next year of stories.

Keep up the good work. I have had so much pleasure following up some of your posts. I’ve blown up the photos so that I can see the names on posters and shop fronts and then searched them out on the Web. You are a modern day ‘Samuel Pepys’. You are setting down the lives of ordinary people who under normal circumstances wouldn’t have a voice. You let us get to know people who we may never get to meet in the flesh and you let us see into buildings where we may never get an invite. In years to come people will study your blog and make a pilgrimage to view the ‘Blue Plaque’ that says ‘Here lived the Gentle Author’ recorder of Spitalfields Life.

Having once lived in Mansell Street, your writings make me homesick to return.

There are a lot of us out here who really appreciate this blog. It’s where we go for a taste of home, a taste of history or just a place to while away a few happy minutes each day.

Good luck and please keep on writing!
