Pick up your yellow-framed FHTH pictures

I hope everyone got to the ‘From Here To Here’ exhibition at the LCC. There you will have seen your words rather beautifully exhibited in yellow frames appropriate to the images and words shown. As soon as I saw mine I said “Can I buy it?” Now I have my answer.

Thanks to Sue Rogers and Nick Asbury who did all the hard work, designed the works, put them away safe in storage and are now saying “They’re yours”. All you have to do is come along and collect your own work from the offices of The Writer, handing over a cheque for £30 made payable to ‘26 Characters Ltd’. We’re grateful to Sue and Nick for their generosity in making this possible. If you want to be reminded what your framed words look like, visit www.suerogers.co.uk and follow the links.

You can collect your work in the week of 9 January (sorry, can’t do it earlier). We can’t wrap them up and deliver them or post them. The Writer is based at 100 Borough High Street, a few hundred yards from London Bridge Station (Northern or Jubilee lines – not Circle). Normal working hours only. If anyone can’t make it that week, let us know and we’ll hang on to your work (but not for too long). But don’t miss the chance to have your own work on display at home.

Sorry we couldn't make this in time for Christmas presents – but it’ll be a nice start to the new year.

But if it is a late Christmas present you’re after, look no further than the book ‘From Here To Here: Stories Inspired By London’s Circle Line’ which is in bookshops and available online. Full of great writing by 26 members and guests like Simon Armitage and Ian Marchant, you can get your hands on one for only £12.99. Last time we looked, ‘From Here To Here’ was number 8079 in the Amazon rankings, let’s see if we can make it New Year’s number one. Or 7999, anyway. John Simmons
