Wondering how you are – how was your ironing? I was late for vegetable peeling which was not good (I only have one thing to do for dinner on sunday and managed to mess that up apparently) but such is life. Would it not for everyone else I would have happily spent hours on the phone with you although of course I would happily come to find you if I could have done so.

Thinking about you and the things you worry about – no apologies re the flight home please – I was sad too. Let’s find a way for you to write back but it is important that you know that I know what you feel even though you can’t write back. Also anything you write will be just fantastic, simply because it will be you – and I could want for nothing more, just the delightful beautiful you.

Still counting down the hours – I love you my darling beautiful one x.
