For over 10 years, Sue Townsend has written a monthly column for Sainsbury’s Magazine, which covers everything from hosepipe bans and Spanish restaurants to writer’s block and the posh middle-aged woman she once met who'd never heard of Winnie the Pooh.

Collected now for the first time, these columns from one of Britain’s most popular and acclaimed writers are funny, perceptive, and touching.

I’m sorry we have lost Sue Townsend. Such a relatable and wonderful person. Funny and dry, but also terribly sad in parts, without feeling too sorry for herself.
Carolyn Oldershaw has a great voice for narration and I hope to hear her doing other things.

Really bittersweet.

Never thought I’d like this book,but ended up loving it. Her stories about her life are funny and interesting. Not boring in the least as the stories are short and sweet
