I arrived home this evening after a lovely day with my grand-daughter and her dog to find on the mat my subscription renewal letter. Has it really been a year since the last one? I love The Word - it's the only magazine I subscribe to - and I love this site, which is far and away the one I visit most. At every opportunity I recommend both mag and site to anyone I think might be interested.

I shall, naturally, be renewing my subscription - the cheque will be in the post tomorrow* - but I have one small complaint. I realise we've had an Easter weekend in the interim to slow things down, but if I'm being sent a "reply within 14 days" offer it would be helpful if it didn't take 12 days to reach me...

Otherwise I think you're all doing a fine job. (Apart from my not getting a mention in the blog contributors' Roll of Honour, of course.) Keep up the good work.

*How much longer will we be able to say that, I wonder?
