Hello and welcome to this series 6 episode 9 of out with Susie Ruffle.

Hello I hope that whenever you're listening to this you're having a good day.

I've still got quite a croaky voice I had that horrible cold that's not

COVID oh I was sick as a dog I was really ill for I guess when you're

listening I don't know when you're listening to this but a few days ago I was really poorly and

it was taken to my bed like a Victorian child it was terrible so if any of you are fighting flu and cold and maybe even

COVID, I hope that you're doing okay because all it's been chilly. It's been

ever so cold. Just in the lead up to Christmas, if you've listened to this

podcast before you probably know that I'm very, very into Christmas. Our tree arrives in a couple of days,

which I'm very excited about. Actually, by the time this goes out, our tree will be in our house, which I'm very excited about. Actually by the time this goes out our tree will be in our house

which I'm very excited about I can't wait to put all the ball balls up and for it to

look all festive and for me to shout, Alexa, play Christmas music. But if you're not a festive person, I hope that you have,

I hope you're still having a very nice month. Anyway, you're not here to hear about me whiter on

about how much I like Christmas are you. You're here to hear an interview with a brilliant person and I've got one today don't you worry

I've got a brilliant interview with Tom Reed Wilson who I just love he is most charming, gorgeous man that I delighted in spending an hour

with and I think we're going to become proper friends, which you know I love it when that happens.

I can't wait to share that with you, but as always I have a couple of listener

emails to share with you before we get into the conversation. Okay let's start

here. Hi Susie I hope you're having a nice week I've been an avid listener

from the beginning and I save your

podcasts for my dog walk or for what I'm feeling in the need of some mindfulness. All I can really

say is what everyone else has said to you, thank you. Susie, thank you for being you and thank you for doing what you do.
