I am so excited that you have embarked on this adventure. You are my favorite person on Instagram and I love your podcasts with your Mother! I am fascinated by history as I grew up with my Grandmother’s stories ( she was born in 1890). You and Lady P are both great storytellers and hilarious. 💕

Oh this is so wonderful to read- I will let my mother know that our paths have crossed - my grandfather would have been delighted to know you wrote not 1 but 23 hand books- he loved a hand book!

Love the photos! You have a very natural writing style. I enjoy your anecdotes about the Royal Family so much….I’m actually going to the coronation and I hope you are going as well! I think Charles is a lovely man and will be a great king!

You are in such a place of honor to be attending - The Royal Household have had an impossible time reducing down the numbers from 8,000 to 1,000!

I couldn't leave a comment on your post about your godfather as I am not a subscriber. Thank you for writing about your experience as the king being your godfather. It brings humanness into him reading this and his thoughtfulness beautiful. I love too that he is an advocate for animals.

Fine writer and reader of Substack—we are starting a movement to get a poetry section added to the platform. Can I ask, are you with us?

If so, please consider clicking the above link and liking the Notes post—leave a comment or even share within your own community. Poetry lives on in the minds of hearts of writers, it breathes on the page.

Your voice can be heard among the starry illuminations, howling at the moon.

Thank you for your time and support.

Love and appreciation,

David
