Dear All,
Greetings from Paris! We have been blessed with splendid weather and have spent every day thus far exploring.
The Eiffel Tower is every bit as impressive as Paris Blues led us to expect, and the galleries and museums are second to none. We met a couple who speak Breton at the Jeu de Paume the other day and Delia was delighted at how much their language has in common with Welsh. We've been availing ourselves of various patisseries; Sister Monica Joan and Barbara would be in heaven! (we might have bought some cakes and sweets to bring back – you shall have to wait and see)
I daresay we're not appreciating the world's fashion capital as much as Trixie would, but you'll be pleased to know that pantyhose seem to be all the rage here, and women wearing slacks is delightfully commonplace.
We visited Notre Dame cathedral yesterday (see the front of the postcard), which was positively awe-inspiring; we lit a candle for Sister Evangelina. Perhaps she wouldn't approve of its grandiosity, but we wanted her to know she's in our thoughts.
We're missing you all terribly, but we'll be back in Poplar before you know it.
Lots of love,
Patsy and Delia xx
