This is a wonderful beginning … I feel safe, intrigued and happy in the little space you have started to define. And I am cheering you on for pushing yourself into something scary and new … I (and I am sure many others) have your back!

“I don’t suffer fools” and “I adore a French exit”—sounds like my type of person! I’ll be expecting your first post!

I actually shouted out loud when I joined Substack today and found you here. I devour your columns in Grazia and I’m so happy to be in this new space with you. I hit the subscribe button faster than you could say ‘French exit’ 🙌🏻

Hello from Seattle.

Ooh this will be fun! Loved your writing way back in Look or was it more? Went for an interview at emap once (I'm talking about 25 years ago) and remember the guy being impressed when I said you were my favourite journalist... didn't get the job though (would like to leave a laughing emoji here, but also don't like the impression that gives... not that I'm sure what exactly that impression would be)!
