Lost for words
Thank you so much for the very useful feature on festive small talk by Kellie Gillespie-Wright. Never having been at a loss for words myself, I was surprised to discover how awkward my new husband felt in social situations. Many years down the line, we have a son in exactly the same situation. Comfortable with people they know well, both men dread the kind of party where they are expected to ‘circulate’. I have made a copy of the feature for each of them and think that it should stand them in very good stead for the future.
