At last there is a silver lining to the clouds of 2012. The tedium of the jubilee and the Olympics will be relieved by the fun and games attendant on the choice of the new archbishop of Canterbury (Report, 17 March). Bless you, Dr Williams, you couldn't have timed it better.

• I always enjoy my visits to the river Sillees in western Fermanagh (Letters, 16 March). Then I return home to Leicestershire, and the Sence.
