Dear Powells,
My second postcard in less than a week; don’t pass out with shock.
I am feeling very grateful. For the past 14 months I have been trying to sell my shared ownership flat. It has been one bewildering farce after another that, despite my best efforts, sucked the joy from me like an industrial hoover. But… yesterday, I finally got the call from my long suffering solicitor to say it had sold. I sat in disbelief for several minutes before I burst into tears. Then I rang her back to check I hadn’t misheard and—once she had confirmed it wasn’t a dream (or a prank)—I drank a glass of champagne (too quickly), ate some meatballs and went to bed at 9.11pm.
That seemingly never-ending nightmare has… ended!
Now it’s time for a new chapter, one which I plan to fill with joyful creativity.
Today is also National Illustration Day so to celebrate, I am offering a 15% discount on my monthly and annual plans, which if redeemed, will last forever. FOREVER!
Paid subscribers get extra perks such as process or live videos, and lucky dips to win a signed original illustrations, which will start in December. You will also get early access to buy illustrated things I am launching.
A monthly membership will become £3.40 and an annual one £32.30. The offer lasts until Monday.
A heartfelt thanks to all of you who have continued to support Pen Powell Posts this year. I am always delighted to read that my writing makes you smile:
"Your postcards are hilarious, I just want to read more and more of it!"
Let’s end with a picture of a dog because dogs are great… unless they piss in your shoe.
Yours truly,
Powell x
Excited to join!
How can pay for a subscription from here in the states? I can’t do it from the Substack app. I’ve loved your bird art for a long time.
