I do hope you will come again – and bring your friends… Here is a poem and drawing by Joan to celebrate the Peace of Winter and the return of Spring.

This sounds like typical Joan, thinking of others whether human or otherwise. Have an enjoyable midwinter and New Year, Lizza, secure in the knowledge that Joan continues to give comfort and joy through the marvellous literary legacy she has left us all.

I’m with Calmgrove – typical JA. I’m hoping to start “The Scream” in the next day or two. Looking forward to new updates in 2016. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.

Thank you, that is so lovely and I have just passed it on to my fellow hedgehog loving sister. Our hedgehog sleeps under the bay tree…
