So glad I can still read your advice every week. I always find something in your responses which strikes a chord.

Your column is one of my go-tos for calm and perspective. So glad to hear you're continuing it.

Loosely on the subject of isolation, I was just reading a Guardian article on the effects of COVID 5 years on, and a link took me to a TV review for Grayson's Art Club. Reminded me what a wonderful programme that was, and how great Grayson and Philippa were in it. Uplifting memories.

Nuanced and totally empathetic advice as always. So good.

In one sense, good news. In another sense, the prospect of a first round of match with players wearing numerous layers while spectators shelter from the elements

Absolutely. I have reached out to one of my closest friends recently in connection with some personal issues I'm having, and he is only too willing to step in and support me, I just had to ask. I should say, Philippa, your column is also often a great source of clarity and comfort at such times

Hard to see how he'd refuse, after the US charm offensive towards Ukraine over the last few days

Loved your Desert Island Discs. Really heart warming.

And not one heart or mind won over by this action. Whoever determines the tactics and strategy for JSO needs to have a serious rethink.
