Heppell Christmas letters...
...a festive communication to all our family and friends

Each year (even with CoVID!) the Heppell family from Brightlingsea (Stephen & Carole, children Juliette, Melissa, Toby with their partners, Simon and Cali - and now grandchildren Amelie, Louis, Josie and Elodie) mail these newsletters to their family and many good friends around the world. B'sea is still the family home.

Now, you either love or hate this world craze for annual newsletters (a bit like Marmite really), and if you hate them please forgive us and pass on by, but some while back those who do love them asked us for an archive, somewhere handy. On reflection, this is nice for us too. This web page is that "somewhere handy ". They go back a fair way. The new image rich format starts at 2018..

These have no literary merit whatsoever. But for anyone interested, here are those various annual contributions. We are still trying to find our early annual web-advent calendars from the pioneering very first year of the Internet for those of you who were already wired back then and have asked:
