Why subscribe?

I’m in the process of writing/updating this as I get more Substack content out there - so here’s my work-in-progress, what-to-expect page! It came with a template page already filled out by Substack and, to be honest, I stared at it for a long time wondering what to write instead. I’ll gradually erase the off-the-peg version and insert my own blurb here. An ongoing upcycle project, if you will.

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. Never miss an update. [Substack wrote this bit, not me. But I wrote this:]

This is what I’m bribing you with offering if you subscribe:

• One (I hope) entertaining newsletter a week. More if you subscribe (see last bullet point)

• Ramblings about ageing. I became an quinquagenarian in 2022 and being in your 50s gives you a whole load of stuff to moan talk about

• A lot of observations about countryside living by someone who still just about considers themselves a Londoner

• Stories about stuff that happens/happened to me (most likely flowered-up just a bit for dramatic flair) in a way that I hope will bring a knowing smile to your face. “Yeah, that happened to me too, oh god…”

• Thoughts about perimenopause and what an absolute =COUGH= joy it is

• Dog stuff. I love dogs. I’m a dog mum. I’ll write about dogs. Expect dog content.

• If you pay for content I’ll write an extra something just for you. I’m switching on paid subscriptions soon and when I do you’ll get the extra juicy stuff that’ll most likely be the most embarrassing, personal stuff. It might also be a bit poignant. But whether it’s funny, sad or a bit of both, I’ll make it especially heartfelt.

Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. [Substack wrote that. It’s true.]

That line worked on my school BFF on my second day of secondary school so it’s a tried-and-tested formula, I know it works. Hi Jo x]
