Thank you so much for sending this - I will read with interest. My child is past schooling age now, but I would like so much better for other children like him. Thanks again.

Thrilled to see this - quite why we have no real cultural relationship with the 17th Century Civil Wars in this country always baffles me.

Am now following Practical Magic with Working Girl and I think I'm having the best night on BlueSky. I do now want this hair though - which is going be a conflict with the Practical Magic hat. I'd watch Joanie Cusack read an instruction manual.
