Congratulations and Happy Publication Day! Yay for Lia’s Almanac! The Original and Best, as the old adverts said! Accept no substitutes! I was given the first one in 2017 by my son Dan for my birthday and it has literally changed my life! Mine has just arrived today and it’s gorgeous! Can’t wait to enjoy it! I’ll be buying many to give as Christmas gifts as usual! I love everything that I’ve found since getting into your Almanac - the podcast, Ffern perfume, this wonderful community who post weekly. This really is my tribe!

Thank you Lia- you are a woman after my own heart! Bless you ❤️

Congratulations! I'm off to pick up mine from our indie bookshop this morning. I shall refrain from reading it and put it away until Christmas, then it will sit beside my bed for the whole year and be read as each month turns. It's. become a bit of a ritual for me!

Huge congratulations, it’s such a lovely and grounding treat to sit and read as each month turns. I’ve just been with you for around a year (podcast first) and look forward to many more. Also agree about this substack community, little bite sized weekly nuggets to digest. Along with the podcast ‘As the Season Turns’ I feel like I’m in a very special community of like minded individuals.

Just had notification that mine is on its way! I love receiving them each year, it's a real highlight. I found you by chance when you published your first one, and I've been hooked ever since. I needed something to get me through the darker months, and it really does. Glad to hear you say that you're proud, because you definitely ought to be! Much love. Xx

Hurray for you and your almanac, I am so excited as this is my first almanac, (having only found you this May) it has arrived at the book shop but I have to wait till the end of the month before I get my hands on it as it is a birthday gift from my mother inlaw. Yipeee I can't wait...

Congratulations Lia, I was about to order it and then received an email to say it was on its way so I’m delighted that past me pre-ordered it!

Each Almanac is incredibly special to me and really is my compass for each year so now buy them for everyone else too! They are a huge achievement and always with so much magic scattered on every page, you should be very proud 🌝🌻💜
