Pippa, 

I can't imagine quitting caffeine lasting long for you if you work in a place that serves coffee! I'd be on a caffeine high all day, and would totally crash when I got home from work. Your self restraint must be off the charts. Running and walking is always great, I try to run a lot, early morning runs are the best if you ask me. To see the sun rising as you're jogging by. I do it whenever I wake early, it gives me something to do. A good, motivated start to the day. That's only half the time though, the other half of the time I'm the laziest slob you ever could meet. 

I do totally get what you mean in regards to baking, I don't share that but I understand it. I burn most things I bake. It's strange, I can cook perfectly well but baking is beyond me. It is not one of my many many many many many talents ;) (I still feel like the faces are totally out of place in a physical piece of writing)

"Pippa's place" what a sweet name. It's original to me, I've not heard of anywhere else named that which makes it something different, intriguing. I'd seriously love to stop by sometime. Are you sure I can't be of any help to you? I'd be happy to do absolutely anything, if you have any ideas feel free to let me know!

Don't feel like you shouldn't have googled it, Marvel is pretty big and only seems to continue to grow so a lot of people know who I am anyway (I don't mean to sound egotistical, it's just the truth). Pippa Hillston, you are more than welcome to watch the films. They may not be your cup of tea (or coffee) going off what you've described liking in movies, but it'll give you some insight into what I've done in the past, and the role I'll be taking up once more in the not too distant future. But, there's a condition: you get to watch my movies so long as I get to come to one of the events you run at the book shop? Perhaps bring my god daughter along to one of the story readings so that she can listen to something good, and me and you could have a face to face chat (so long as you're comfortable with that)

Where movies are concerned, I like a whole range of stuff but I've not had a real chance to sit down and watch things recently. I like the disney classics, always have, most likely always will. I use my god daughter as an excuse to watch them half the time, but she doesn't mind (although does happen to complain an awful lot when I sing/ screech along with the songs she's fondest of)

Don't worry about the length of the letter, I honestly don't mind one bit. Hearing back from you fills me with this kind of excitement, I always end up reading your letters over and over again. You never fail to bring a smile to my face, Pippa. 

I would absolutely love to take your number (that sounds way more forward than I meant for it to, but I'm too lazy to rewrite the whole letter and crossings out look horribly messy) so that we can text or call each other rather than awaiting replies of letters, it'll speed up the communication which could never be a bad thing. I'll most certainly send you a couple of pictures of the horrible kitchen fails I create. 

Now, I'm not saying for you to expect a birthday present (of course, not at all, why would I buy a gift for someone who I consider to be a good friend? pffttt) but I would never consider flowers to be too much. For a person such as yourself, they seem like too little. 

Write back, 

Seb
