Mummy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do hope you are well and that your dreadful cold has gone away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not speaking to Joe again <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are sleeping in separate rooms <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is being insufferable and just plain rude to everyone <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobody else has an opinion or if they do it is wrong <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he does make me laugh as he gets so cross with things <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you know we are both students of the Bronte sisters and trek up north at least once a year <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe finds Yorkshire the most English of counties <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He likes its masculinity and the directness of its people <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the one place that I think he fits in well as you know he has no filter <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says what he thinks and as you know shoots from the hip <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He does not care if he offends people including me as he thinks that I need to be educated about certain things <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bastard <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said he is a very gentle man and a caring lover <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have learnt so much from him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he knows how clever he is and expects all around him to be the same and lacks good humour if that is not the case <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His poetry attracts a number of followers and they worship every word <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pretends not to care but it means a lot to him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quite often his work leaves me confused but I know that I am missing something and it is up to me to find the right path <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there is one at all<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I digress <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not worry as Joe and I have these squabbles from time to time <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all we are twins <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Identical and incestuous <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We fly under each others radar <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our latest fight was when he was rude about Princess Diana who I still miss greatly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He made me cry and then mocked me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stood my ground and we argued <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He caused me to start stuttering again and I hated him for that <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This said whilst looking at his phone yesterday he let out a profanity in the middle of street <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone was looking at him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cause <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It appears that the Bronte Society had become WOKE which he could not stand <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is obvious to me that it and many other organisations have been infiltrated by the loons on the left <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he was having none of it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then he stopped and became very thoughtful <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We shared a drink in The Sinking Slave Ship and he started discussing the Dignitas Infinita again <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that God must have a sense of humour as within a couple of days the Catholic Church had released the Dignitas Infinita and that he had since been massively irritated by a silly post online <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes he just vanishes into Joe Land and comes out when he is ready <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have already forgiven him but am not letting on <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He knows that he can be a bunt <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will just let him simmer <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the way I have taken your advice on board and am growing my bush again <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secretly I hate my tattoo as it makes me look a flake<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe will go off on one of his Dark Lady of the Sonnets periods again <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am sure that he thinks that I am the Dark Lady <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it is all rather jolly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you realise that it is the anniversary next month will you be okay I can pop down (with Joe this time) and we can walk in the woods or watch trains as we used to do <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bishop Graham is coming to see me in a week as he wants me to edit yet another guide to St Jude’s <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That seems to be his greatest passion but I feel honoured that he asks me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He still treats me as if I am at Roedean and brings me chocolates and a church pen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What a lovely man he is and even Joe behaves around him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will close now as I can hear Joe moving around and then he will go quiet as he always writes in the morning whereas I am a total zombie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Send my kisses to Audrey and Amanda <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another letter in a day <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lots of Love <\/p>\n\n\n\n
