Hello Orlando,

I wanted to show you an excellent present I received at Christmas!

The person (husband) who bought me this knows me very well so it was a typically thoughtful choice, and I thought you would appreciate it. If anyone reading this is envious enough to want their very own, they can buy it here.

Upon seeing it, I realised the cat on the pin looked very like Bucky the rehomed cat in this lovely and uplifting story: 

Overlooked ten-year-old cat is finally rehomed after eight months in cattery – thanks to tearjerker poem

Obviously, that is a story about the power of poetry too, which I know you’ll appreciate.

And on that note, all the best people, and writers, and writers of poetry, have a cat in their life:

Miaow for now,
Gillian
