Hi again Joy. I’ve just checked the subscription list and see you have been successfully added. Welcome!

Hi Joy. Depending on the devise you used to download this, you will find a button to subscribe. On an iPad it is usually to the side of the post towards the top, and says “Subscribe to this blog. Fill in your email.” Leaving your email is then all you need to do. If it is on a phone, it is likely to be at the very end of the post after all the comments, and you will see there is a box to tick saying, Notify me of new posts by email. You will have to fill in the same info you needed to fill in to make the comment. After that, all should be good and you will get an email sent to you every time a new post is put up.

Thanks Trixie. Very good to hear from you.
