At Christmas … things we’ve learned from The Crown
Wear what you like in your own home
Let’s Dance (wherever and whenever!)
Find somebody who looks at you the way the Royals gaze at stags
If your family step out of line, give them the Margaret treatment
But keep it real: even Princesses get weird sometimes
Don’t mess with the Chef: some are salty enough to begin with
Never forget to pamper your furry friends
And if someone makes a fool of themselves to give you a gift, they’re a keeper (Charles, you Muppet!! )
Gillian Anderson & Emma Corrin at Letters Live
Both Gillian and Emma appeared on stage at the Royal Albert Hall in London last night (30th Oct 2021) to help raise money for fantastic causes.
Gillian’s two letters included ‘Follow your dreams, not your boyfriends’ [pictured above], a letter from Gillian to her 16 year old self (prev published here.) She also read ‘She was more than a saint’ written about Eleanor Roosevelt in a letter by Martha Gellhorn to Adlai Stevenson. Gillian will soon play Eleanor Roosevelt in the Showtime series, ‘The First Lady.’
Emma’s two letters were ‘May your work be condemned to the pastry–cook’s shop’ by Jane Austen to her brothers, and ‘Does everyone really have something good in them?’ by Margaret Veglahn to Harper Lee.
Keep up to date with the Letters Live YouTube channel as it’s possible videos of these new stage performances may appear in the near future. Past performances by Gillian Anderson,Olivia Colman,Claire Foy and many others are already available to view.
If you enjoy inspiring and powerful letters, consider donating to the National Literacy Trust if you are able, or buying Letters of Note books and audios.

Tried doing some digital painting for the weirdly brilliant Channel 4 show Flowers! This is my favourite scene so far this series, it’s hard to convey all the emotions in this one shot through a drawing, but I tried my best.

i just finished the last ep of heartstopper earlier today and holy shit I cried. when I read nick coming out to his mom in the comic it was emotional for me because it was just a beautiful moment for him and his journey in accepting and finding his bisexuality. but when I watched that scene with Kit Connor and Olivia Colman I just bawled. the fact that Nick’s mom is just so supportive and says “I’m sorry you felt like you couldn’t tell me” is just so heartwarming. i sobbed because I knew I could never have that moment with my mother. i sobbed because I know my mother doesn’t believe in people being gay. i sobbed because I know she would say I’m just confused and that I’m just gay. i sobbed because I just came out to my uncle because I was desperate for someone in my family to give me support and he without question completely accepted me for who I am because he had a feeling but let me come to him when I was ready. the lgbtq+ but more specifically the bi representation in heartstopper is beautiful, raw and real and it made me even more proud to be bi. it made me be happy for the people who do have people like Nick’s mom because they do have that support that I don’t have from my mom. so for those who do have supportive family members please don’t take them for granted and for those who don’t I’m here for you. also, do me a favor please watch heartstopper, you won’t regret it :)
