Thank you so much for subscribing, your support means a great deal. It’s been almost a year since I started this newsletter, and it’s been wonderful having your comments and thoughts. Today I’m announcing a new addition to my publication: the Cambridge Ladies' Dining Society subscriber chat.*

That’s it! If you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ or do email me directly (akennedysmith@substack.com) - and as I say, we will also continue our Cambridge Ladies' Dining Society conversation in the comments section, or via email, as before. Thanks again for your support.
