Well my dears, such excitement. My darling lady guardian and her delightful twin sister celebrated their birthday yesterday on different sides of the world separated by land and time but as one. The repeated enjoyment of wishing her twin a happy birthday hours ahead of herself, with the meaning of being twenty minutes older stretching out to eight hours and twenty minutes older, will never cease to stop amusing my lady guardian. Older in years but wiser, maybe a little sad but delighted at the celebration of life lived and yet to be enjoyed. Such vast possibilities for all concerned. It is with this in mind that plans have begun for the next antipodean visit due in the autumn of this very year. With great delight my guardian's have booked tickets to see a Shakespearean play at the Globe Theatre in London when they join her twin on arrival in England. A few days spent enjoying the delights of our capital city before returning to our small rural estate. I, myself, will spend time quietly at home awaiting their return, abley looked after by my lady guardian's older sister, whose estate lies close to our own. Discussions are already under way regarding the best establishment to partake of afternoon tea, and the opportunity to view some of this country's treasured art should not be missed.
For now, however, my guardian's enjoy a few days brief respite from professional toil. As always, simple pleasures are partaken; a good book, gentle music, fine food and, more importantly, time spent, the three of us, enjoying each other's company. What more could one ask for.
