The Mill’s first birthday is coming up in a few weeks (we sent our first ever newsletter on June 5th last year!) and we’re thinking about how to celebrate it. If you were one of the very very early people on the email list at that time, please get in touch by replying to this email — we might rope you into the celebrations somehow or at least ask you for your favourite stories over the year.
