| My father had one of those three-wheeled “invalid carriages” designed for driver only (Lorraine Gradwell obituary, 4 October). My brother and I had an annual treat of being taken to the Matlock Bath illuminations (a 50-mile return journey) in it. We had to go on consecutive nights, and as soon as we left the town, up we would pop from the hidey-hole in the floorwell and sort of kneel, peeping out. These jaunts were so exciting, but thank heavens that hand-controlled vehicles were introduced so we could go out as a family.Linda GreshamBirmingham | My father had one of those three-wheeled “invalid carriages” designed for driver only (Lorraine Gradwell obituary, 4 October).

| • I wonder why we are regularly greeted in Monday morning’s edition with a picture of the prime minister leaving church the previous day. Is it to show her piety and adherence to Christian values? Mrs May presides over an administration showing scant regard for Christian teaching in relation to the poor, homeless, aged, young, sick or disabled. It seems the meek will not be inheriting the earth any time soon.Bruce TyrerBristol | • I wonder why we are regularly greeted in Monday morning’s edition with a picture of the prime minister leaving church the previous day.

| • I too am deeply upset at the non-appearance of Notes and Queries (Letters, 7 October), as my query on what happens to birds during hurricanes – published in its last appearance, on 21 September – may now never be answered. Are we doomed never to know?

| • Talking of baths (Letters, 9 October), my fear of becoming pregnant from my brother’s bathwater often made me pretend I had been in after him.
