Hi Sophie,

That's awesome- I look forward to receiving it. I saw something on the news the other day which reminded me of your work, but I can't for the life of me think what it was!

It'd be great to chat more. I do occasionally venture London-ways, so I'll let you know when I'm next around. In the meantime, have a lovely summer!

Best,

John

Hi Sophie,
