Ahh Hannah! We Brits are curious amalgam of ancient and modern." Woke" and anachronistic in our traditions.

Luckily I am half Italian as you know and can only queue for so long before my ADHD kicks in and I start counting blue jackets, how many pigeons are on the embankment walls, who has ginger hair, how many portaloos can I count etc. But it is my firm belief that most of my Italian countrymen have ADHD listen to the break neck speed of our lilting sing song language!

The country is enjoying a sombre bank holiday today Hannah, i went to my local co op to buy cat food and the cashier was crying openly... big splashy tears! It made her glasses steam up!

Beautiful penpal and sketches, so look foraward to more . Lots of love xx

Another wonderful read, thank you. I think you’re right in what you say about the queen’s death giving people an opportunity to reflect on other losses. It’s been a heavy few years and so many people are grieving loved ones but also grieving in other ways. 🖤
