i've just written to the Duchess of Cornwall, saying how jealous I am of her that she met Sofie Grabol on the set of "The Killing" and had been given a Faroes Island hand-knitted cardigan. Haven't heard anything yet, will let you know if and when she responds.
Have also written to Simon Hopkinson the chef, telling him how much I was enjoying cooking up his recipes in his not not so new book. He sent me back an autographed copy of the book, so I gave the unautographed book to my cooking-loving friend.
I also wrote earlier in the year to George Osborne (the Chancellor) complaining how badly HMRC had dealt with my tax situation. He didn't respond personally, but he did pass it on to a guy who did get all the problems sorted out .....
