DeleteThanks, Selcen and Sebnem! It's wonderful to have you participating and to connect this way.
DeleteI've put aside a pile of books to give to the daughter of our local Big Issue seller (a young Polish woman). I don't often see her these days, as she's stopped selling it since giving birth, so the books are unlikely to reach her by tomorrow, but I'll try to get them to her eventually. I've texted her to say that they're hers if she wants them.
