In Memoriam

Dear Heart,
A successful day by all accounts. I've done ever so much work and enjoyed (just about) every minute of it. I met Siân in Costa (I have a sneaking suspicion that Costa is the new McDonald's) and she presented me with the world's most wonderful gift, all wrapped up in royal purple wrapping paper.
It was Tennyson, all beautiful and bound up in age and memory! It truly is the loveliest thing I could wish for, as I've fallen irrevocably in love with him of late. At present he is sitting on my bookshelf, but he looks so out of place there, as if he deserved a throne...
Love, Lydia x
