Hi Helen,
I think exact details are to be announced but the one I did last year in London was booked through the customer email newsletter or through the store, so I’m sure it’s something that can be arranged. Would you like me to pass your email address on to my contact at John Lewis and ask her to mail you with further details?

thanks (just in case you don’t have my email, it’s helenyendall@yahoo.co.uk)

Hi Helen,
I’ve emailed Sian Jones at John Lewis and asked her to contact you directly. But let me know if this doesn’t come off for some reason, and I’ll get back onto it.
