Hi Stephen,this month's blog really grips my attention.It is so riveting that I can't get rid of it.Reading the blog becomes my first thing to do in a day.I never been to England or Peru . Therefor ,the exotic living,like scissors dance ,white chrismas or Virgin's Day, is novel to me.The blog also provides me some inspiration for writing.In the past, I don't used to writing composition.It help me turn the struggling English learning into an interesting activity.I am glad to hear from you and share my idea with b.b.c. blog's lovers.

hi,stephen.how wonderful pictures that you sent to us.it is nice to see what you and your lovely daughter look like.she must be a decent girl.you are also an excellent father and from your blog i know you have to do a lot of things to look after and educate her.i am a working mother and i know the difficulty to bring up a child.though we will make sacrifice for them but when we see them are growing up happily ,we know that it is well worth it.Merry Christmas and good luck to you and your daughter.

Hi Stephan How are you today? Very thanks for your beautiful photos . I 'm sorry for breaking of lucy's camera . In IRAN a good digital camera costs a lot . It would be very nice if you put more photo from London , your home town & … in your blog . And your daughter , lucy looks very nice and sweet . I hope she would be successful at A level exams . I saw many photo of seven sister shore in bbc english learning web site . Can you give me some information about it's name? And is Stonehenge located in UK . It 's photo is one of my favorite desktop background at cumputer 's monitors . Very Thanks for your blogs on weekend . You know in IRAN our calendar in different and weekend starts on Thursday noon and ends on Friday nights . And finaly last question : What happens for all chrismas trees When chrismas ends ? Do you throw out them or are they alive and can be planted again? I hope don't supposed to be stupid for this question . have fun with your pre - chrismas activities . bye bye

Hi,Stephen i really envy you and your daughter's wonderful relationship. the relationship with your daughter sonds as smooth as silk and you certainly enjoy the fatherhood very much. i do hope i can have a great relationship with my son when he grows up like you. you are absolutely right that parents are never or will never be rich when they have a child or children. my husband is not young and whenever my son demaonds new toys he grumbles that he will never retire until his ninety year old. i went into a bookshop to buy some books for some friends last saturday.while i was looking books i wondered whether any of your books have been published.if so,would you let us know,please? thank you!!! have a fantastic day!!

Dear Stephen, Every day it's a great pleasure for me to read your blog. Your way of writing is so enchanted, so real English. I adore this. Altough I am not a good reader (and writer too) of the English language, I recognise this. Maybe it's because your a writer by profession that you can you express you self so well? And you are so enthusiastic, I'll give you a great compliment. Your pictures are cute; it's nice to see you and your lovely daughter. And your description of Londen at Christmas time, with all the tradions is very interesting for me. I think you are very lucky to live in a city with such opportunities and you do use them. I mean your way of living, having breakfast, dinner etc. outdoors. I live in a little village and it's impossible to do these things. Please go on writing as you did till now. It's very instructive for me in many ways. With most kindly regards, Wim
