it still hasn't quite hit me...in 48 hours i shall be in London with jude. 48 hours after that we'll be in L'Isle- sur-la-Sorgue. sunday morning we will be in the weekly market, our senses filled with the heady mix of lavender, peaches, strawberries, gitanes and coffee, cheeses, the boulangerie and the patisserie...
12 nights away. not a very long time in the grand scheme of life but a milestone allthesame...leaving the familiar, the everyday. going to a place i also know...but it is familiarity of a different kind... walking back into that place will be a strange experience... memories will be replaying... a haven that is needing to be reclaimed and redeemed, reowned and reremembered...
i will depart alone. i will return alone. such significance in that.
LB, x
see you by the pool ..... with a glass of the local ... a fresh croissant or two .... some boursin ...and peace in the french sanctuary ...
ReplyDeleteM :-)
Alone in body perhaps, but not in spirit, I'm certain of that... thinking of you both, and wishing you everything and more from your trip

ReplyDeletemarky mark - glad you'll be joining us.
can't believe i have four days with jude on my own. what the hell are we gonna have to say to each other once we've run out of polite small talk? i'll bring some pip wilson ice breaker games to help us through the inevitable awkward silences. ;0)
