A couple of weeks back I passed a local depot vente… a permanent flea market style shop for buying and selling all kinds of household paraphernalia… I came upon this bundle of letters in a dusty old box and promptly bought them… all for a couple of euros … I loved the handwriting and even though some would say that they are junk… that they are rubbish and that they should be binned… I found then lovely… I tied them up with string and sat them on some old books in our living room…
Today the mistral wind is blowing and the temperature is in the minus region… I am about to light the fire, cosy up on the sofa and start on your postcards… This handwriting pictured will be my guide… although I make no promises to write as prettily… xv
