My sister and I love in Kingsdown<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We have lived in a beachside cottage for six years<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Since our parents died by their own hand<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My sisters name is Laura Smet and she is half Portugese<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Laura has an olive skin and raven hair which is typical of her history<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She was born in Lagos two years before I was born<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are very close and spend a lot of time together<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And although we have seperate rooms in our small cottage<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We often spend nights together in each others arms<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am told that this is illegal but the law is for others<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In our garden we keep a pet crab which is an expert on French cinema<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Recently it told us that my sister shares her name with a French actress<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The daughter of Johnny\u00a0Hallyday and Nathalie Baye<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Johnny sadly died in 2017 but we did not mourn his passing<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As we were not aware of the connection at the time<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
From our bedroom window we can see the high white cliffs<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Which overlook the disused military\u00a0firing range<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I often look at them when I am sleeping on Laura’s fine breasts<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At present I am writing a history of disused firing ranges in Kent<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My sister is translating my book into Spanish and Portugese<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I hope it will sells well as I would like to replace our bird table<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As the original is haunted and is not used by the local birds<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A seagull was murdered by a feral cat as it took supper one evening<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And its spirit haunts the bird table which I had constructed the previous year<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Out of driftwood and other debris after a winter storm<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On each warm day we go to the beach which is only yards away<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We often swim when the conditions are fair as the sea can be dangerous<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The weather forecast for the remainder of the month is good<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And a great deal of warm and settled weather is expected<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Especially in the south eastern counties of our small island<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Both Laura and I gather some amusement<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Because we actually reside on two islands here in Kingsdown<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It may seem strange but the fact is quite simple to understand<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
