Your articles presented two entertaining but very different approaches to kitting yourself out for a music festival (‘A godsend at 5am’, 12 June; Field the love, 13 June). One was all boots and head torches, the other pretty dresses and earrings. How appropriate, in this Jane Austen anniversary year, to see the contrasting demands of Sense and Sensibility so clearly set out.

• Adrian Chiles’ piece (Who could deny a hot, tired delivery driver the fruit from their cherry tree?, 12 June) reminded me of a tree we had at the front edge of our garden by the pavement. When its luscious red fruits were ripe, we’d often see someone pluck a handful, only to spit them out a moment later. They were crab apples.
