Hello! Welcome to the Diary Days & Dates newsletter for paid subscribers, which follows on from the free-every-Friday edition to cover the next six months, and covers Monday 25 December to Monday 13 May, or Christmas Day to World Cocktail Day.
This week, I packed for the Bahamas, celebrated my mum’s birthday and made a very good pizza using Marks & Spencer’s sourdough pizza base, £2.30.
Thank you for the support you give me by being a paid subscriber: it’s really appreciated, and enables me to create better newsletters – for all subscribers.
If you know someone else who’d like Diary Days & Dates, you could give them a gift subscription.
Want a customised calendar?
Sick of scrolling past irrelevant dates in these newsletters? I can create a customised calendar focused on your chosen subject area. I’ve done this for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, a couple of charities and an NHS team. Health, fashion, drinks, environment… Tell me what you want…
