A group of us have been creating our very own “tapestry” for two years (see stamfordbridgetapestry.org.uk) and are about halfway through our 12-metre saga, which aims to fill the gap between the Fulford tapestry and the Bayeux. By the time the Bayeux arrives, we should have completed our work, and it would be wonderful to see all three displayed side by side. But I don’t think this could happen in Stamford Bridge (Letters, 23 January) as, due to funding issues, we are struggling to find a venue to display our meagre 12 metres.

• Birdbaths frozen. Snow falling listlessly, on and off. Snowdrops cheer us, but so do primroses and the odd wallflower blooming surprisingly early in our bleak South Yorkshire garden.

• The correct way to eat yorkshire pudding (Letters, 7 February) is as a starter with thick onion gravy. Anything else is just wrong!

• Growing up in Yorkshire in the 1940s we always had it as pudding but never with jam and sugar (these were both rationed); it was always with treacle (golden syrup) trickled on.

• Forget last Friday’s red-top (Letters, 3 February). I cut out the funniest brief letters and glue them on to my envelopes when I write to my parents. Where can I buy stationery to match Journal’s salmon-pink tint?

• What do you do with all the books after your bookcase is turned into your coffin (Letters, 6 February)? You won’t be around to worry about it. Ask your executor to box them up and off to Oxfam with them.
