I'm so glad you enjoyed the interview, Matthew! I haven't yet read Villager but it's next on my list. I just finished 21st Century Yokel and loved it!

Thank you Jane. Thank you Tom. I love how you dance with your guests Jane through your words, attention and considered questions. So beautiful. I am a very visual person and always see you dancing with each guest in my minds eye. More rumba than cha-cha. Gorgeous. I'm grateful for you and your gentle moves xxx

Reading this, I felt as though I were sitting down for tea with two dear, wise & gentle friends. You all were my first read of the day. I’m a bit under the weather, but what a comforting & uplifting way to start my morning. Thank you both.
