Dolly…

25th August 2026

Hello my most beautiful and precious starshine,

I really hope you’re okay my lovely, and you’ve had a wonderful day {} xxx

I’m so sorry I can’t write. I’m crashing badly. I just read that Dolly Parton has died. I feel so sad and upset. She was such a remarkable, compassionate, joyful and inspiring woman, with a special soul. It feels like a bright light’s gone out, and the world’s much darker for it. I wish I could speak with you. I hope you’re okay {}

Please take the greatest and gentlest care of yourself my precious starshine {} xx It’s 19:47. Thoroughly enjoy your heavenly meal for me too, then rest well with something wonderful {} xxx

I love you and I’m hugging tightly through my phone {} xxxx

I’ve just finished posting this to you. It’s 20:02 xx


Moon at 21:30 for Dolly

I’m keeping every single thing crossed you can see moon glowing tonight. They’re spectacular. I took this photo for you just in case xx

Nnight my beautiful sweetheart, sleep tight and dream sweet dreams for you and for me {} xxx

A few days ago, I heard Clair de lune played on the violin for the very first time. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. The violin weeps in David Oistrakh’s hands, in the same way Lucille weeps in B.B King’s hands. I hope you fall in love with it as well my lovely {} xxx

It’s 22:00 xx
