I don’t often get personal on here, but this Christmas I want all my readers to know how much I appreciate your following me on here. It’s the human connections that matter in life and at this time of year, sharing our joys can light up the world. It’s been a bit of a bumpy year for me, with health worries for my loved ones, and I also lost my dear cat Jessie. But still to come are my annual roundups of the books, films and music I enjoyed in 2024 — and of course, this year’s biggest Marilyn headlines. So stay tuned, and have a merry Christmas wherever you may be…
