Dear Lesbian Project subscriber

We are very sorry to say that there will be no pod this week - Julie came back from Mexico with a dose of the lurgy and she needed the rest. (She has told me to tell you all that it is DEFINITELY not man-flu).

All being well, we will be back in your ears next week, so to speak.

Thank you so much to all our fabulous entrants. The winner is - shock horror - a man! And a Swedish man, at that. Here is Simon’s brilliant entry.

Consider this our Christmas card to you all. We wish you a very merry time, however you spend it.

And also: don’t forget that, if you are stuck for that last minute gift for the lezza (or gay man, or straight person, or family pet) in your life, you can always gift them some sapphic traffic, via a subscription to the podcast! It will surely make their year,

Subscribe now

We will be doing another couple of episodes before the end of the year, including a special video one for paid subscribers. But in the meantime, why not take a picture of your Christmas panettone and post it below especially for Julie — you know how she loves them.

Lots of love,

Julie and Kathleen xxx
