G+T on the Darjeeling Limited…
19th February 2026
I hope you’re joyfully chilling with something very special my lovely {} xxx
I just watched The Darjeeling Limited. Have you seen it? It’s a wonderful story of three brothers bonding, whilst going on an enlightening journey across India.
They’re still grieving for their father and go in search for their mum. Doesn’t go as they hoped, but they finally lighten themselves of all the baggage that had been holding them back. It reminded me of Alan kicking the footballs off the top of building, at the end of How Are You? I hope it won’t take too long for me to do this. I’m going to be tons lighter.
I have two songs from the movie just for you my beautiful sweetheart {} xx We have to take a detour in France first with Joe Dassin’s Les Champs-Élysées.
We’ve now reached our final destination where we’ll be joined by Shankar Jaikishan, with his title music from Merchant Ivory’s film Bombay Talkie. I hope you enjoy your relaxing visit with some Darjeeling tea. I hope it’s the perfect tonic xx
I do miss Indian tea. I can smell it right now. Have you ever made it? I only ever had when I was at home. I’m so happy you loved your time there {}
It was lovely visiting India today, and with Wes Anderson’s special touch, it was like a dream. Funnily, I was thinking about my mum earlier today, and a temple scene reminded me of her again.
She used to pray daily. She had a lovely shrine in the dresser in our bedroom. Her faith was extremely personal to her, and I now feel it would’ve helped her greatly. She never pushed her faith onto me, but I’d stay quiet and watch her standing tall. I wish I knew her properly. She’s such an extraordinary woman. She really was ahead of her time. I do love with all my heart.
It’s 20:55. I’m going to make face and teeth happy. I hope yours are very happy as well my lovely. I imagine they are xx
When it’s time to say goodnight to the world, sleep well, sleep peacefully and blissfully, with the sweetest of dreams for both of us {} xxx
I love you and I hug with all my heart. I hope you can feel it. Rest well my precious starshine {} xxxx I’ve just finished posting this. It’s 21:12.
