Hi, I'm Julie and I live in Sussex. I absolutely love your podcast. The idea that your guest chooses a Bronte item from the museum, which then provides the focus in which the chat and discussion flows from, is brilliant. It has opened up a box of fascinating items to me - many of the Bronte's belongings that appear on your podcast, I didn't even know existed! Anne's hankerchief was particularly poignant. Thank you so much for all your hard work in bringing us such a friendly and fascinating podcast. Long may it continue! All the best, Julie
