Oooops, apologies for last month’s
newsletter, you may have received by email, having my ‘to do’ list attached! Life gets so busy sometimes and
mistakes are made. And no doubt, like me, you are busy this month with
Christmas cards, wrapping paper, presents, shopping, baking etc. But somehow,
all gets done and we have a new year, new start coming soon.As well as all the above I and Oscar the Owl have been out
and about at various Christmas Craft Stalls.
Firstly, at Coton Green primary
school, then with my sister at Whitacre Heath Hall and on 9th
December at the 3rd Wilnecote Scout Headquarters. The first two were
outdoors in very cold weather! What a luxury it was to be inside the Scout HQ –
such a lovely building and tables, chairs and hot drinks were available so no
carting my own equipment. Each event was a different experience and though the
weather was against all events Oscar flew off to new homes, as well as some of
my home-made felt owl tree decorations.
Books have also been signed and posted to members of the
Society of Women Writers and Journalists https://www.swwj.co.uk
and to friends near and far. Signed copies have also generated a £40 donation
to https://willowfoundation.org.uk.
Thank you to those who generously contributed. I have received photos and
videos of children reading my book which has made me so happy, and two boys
named Oscar will, I hope, be thrilled by their book. If you wish to receive a
book this way for a special child aged between 2-8 years, or for a birthday
present for a relative, do email me. Otherwise, still time to get a copy from www.amazon.com for Christmas. Here’s the

I’ve now got Christmas gatherings
with two Tamworth Writers Groups, friends and relatives to see, singing of
carols and dodging the rain (or snow!) in the lead up to Christmas day and New
Year. I wish you all joy, peace, good health and warmth and I send with this newsletter,
grateful and heart felt thanks for all your support and encouragement.
Blessings from Sue Flint, Author 💝
