My favourite article of the week was this beautifully written personal essay in the New York Times. It reminded me of my own grandmothers, who I have found myself thinking so much about since the UK went into lockdown nearly two weeks ago. When I say grandmothers, I am actually referring to both my grans and my great auntie Joyce who was like a third gran to me. I have actually been thinking of writing about them for a while in this newsletter because I have been thinking about what influences us to be the way we are.
