I'm just dropping you a line to see how you are. You've been in the news a lot lately - the whole Great British Bake Off debacle has left a nasty taste in the mouths of the viewing public, so I thought it was time to send you some love.
I don't know many writers who don't appreciate you. To most of us, you are a much-loved relative; a national treasure that we adore. You don't always get things right (let's not talk about Mrs Brown's Boys) but there is such a lot you do better than anyone else. And one of the best things about you is that your independence
- you innovate and aren't dictated to by others. This leaves you free to concentrate on nurturing the best writing talent.
I know that not everyone approves of you, and you are having to compromise here and there to keep going. I know that some people are trying to make it harder for you to shine, to do the things you do best. So this is just a note to say that I appreciate you. I hope you're part of my life for many years to come, inspiring me and setting the standard for many imitators. Please don't stop being you.
Love
Tamsyn

Dear Auntie, I appreciate you as well but don't you think it's time you did more stuff about BOOKS??? Children's books maybe. Would it kill you to have 'Book of the Day' for five mins like your 'Tweet of the day'? Just saying...........
What Anne says. And what Tamsin says too - except I like Mrs. Brown's Boys! Partner and me were laughing like drains at it last night.
