"I have been intending to send you the attached photo all summer - I decided to immortalise you in wool - and made a slightly stylised diptych of A+J portraits for my felt-making City and Guilds coursework (I passed, hurrah!).Ìý
Adam's beard arrangements change too fast for me to keep up with, and it looks like Joe's hair is less shaggy and louche these days, but I was still pretty pleased with the likenesses at the time (given that the pictures were made using nothing more than black fluff, white fluff, and a bar of soap... and a fair bit of time and effort as well).Ìý
Thank you for providing the inspiration! Love, Jane xx"Ìý

I listened to it all the way through and I woke up on a raft in the middle of a duck pond humming the macarena whilst wearing a tutu and licking a hedgehog. I feel violated, forcing me to hum the macarena - that's just horrible.

And my mum seems to be impressed too... what more could I ask for?
