What Ho! Ho! Ho!
I hope the festive season finds you happy, healthy and well.
Earlier this December, I had a bit of Twitter fun with a Wodehouse themed 12 Days of Christmas – featuring Wodehouse related gift ideas. This piece provides a summary for those of you who don’t follow Twitter. It may be a lazy way to blog, but news media organisations are reporting Tweets as news these days, and even Wodehouse wasn’t averse to reusing his own material. I hope it gives you some good gift ideas — for Christmas or any time of year.
With all the compliments of the season,
Honoria

Great…..keep them coming!
I am re-re-reading Leave it to Psmith these days.
A week back, I finished an excellent biography of Jeeves, by C Northcote Parkinson. It helped me to understand somewhat the psychology of Jeeves. Could not restrain myself from sharing the key features on my blog!

Awfully good of you Noel. And awfully late of me to reply. I promptly went AWOL after posting the obligatory Christmas m. and went on a festive binge in Venice. I thought life would return to inevitable drudgery on my return, but your little note has made my day.
As ever, Honoria.
