The ‘kindness, friendship, courage and hope’ sentiments for New Year 2024 are encapsulated in Charlie Mackesy’s story: ‘The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse’. Its most recent broadcast (lasting 30mins) was on BBC1 on Christmas Day 2023. It you haven’t seen it before, I hope you find it moving and meaningful, and if you have, it’s a thoughtful reminder.

‘The greatest illusion,’ said the mole, ‘is that life should be perfect. Always remember you matter, you’re important and you are loved, and you bring to this world things no one else can.’
