Two Envelopes - Emily Loizeau

Two envelopes arrived this morning…

Just heavenly!

What beautiful photographs.

I loved them all.

My favourite was the one on top!

«Across the fields to old rectory»,

Just like you say.

So reminding of meeting you there

On your way.

You seemed so happy to be here

Remembering the sea side in Cuckmere.

Thank you a thousand times.

I shall keep them with Charlotte’s album

So preciously

To remind me in the winter of the special week

We spent together in the spring.

Thank you a thousand times.

(X2)

I so wish you lived just over the hill from here…

But you have the sun in the south

And not the rain;

The wind and the clouds of sea side England.

I so enjoyed hearing about your houselooking on the Alpes

And the big room where you go upstairs to be quiet.

I hope to come on the train next year.

Tell me when you might be there.

I so wish you three lived over the hill from here.

I love you all, Grand Family

I love you all, a thousand times.
