Regarding your long read (Death, divorce and the magic of kitchen objects: how to find hope in loss, 29 April), I am not sure which of my three sons will be lucky enough to receive my homemade wooden cheeseboard in my will. It is 12 inches by 12, nicely sanded, with three corners rounded off and one still square. I made it in carpentry lessons at school and it took me a year. My father described it as the most expensive cheeseboard in history. Half a century later, it is still in use.

Marks & Spencer’s CEO has been encouraging shoppers to visit its brick and mortar stores after the disruption of its online operations in a cyber-attack (M&S boss urges shoppers to visit stores in person as it battles cyber-attack, 2 May). Perhaps if it hadn’t closed so many of its shops customers might be inclined to follow his advice. M&S closed its Bradford branch last year and, given that I was spending the bank holiday weekend there, I couldn’t acquiesce to his suggestion even if I wanted to.Richard KillipHornchurch, London
Denis Nightingale Re your article (Exercise can counter side-effects of cancer treatment, biggest review of its kind shows, 29 April), I would like to meet any cancer patient who has the energy and physical strength to attempt the exercises suggested. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy, not to mention radical surgery, totally saps energy and causes extreme fatigue.Jane GhoshBristol
The best way to eat digestive biscuits (Letters, 4 May), and I speak from many a happy teatime, is to take two plain ones and sandwich them with a generous layer of butter in the middle. No chocolate required, no debate over angles and no sticky fingers.Ian GarnerOxenhope, West Yorkshire
