Old Father Thames and I have had a serious falling out this Spring tide. Just after celebrating a 17th wedding anniv – Cards with messages of devotion (me to him) Floris soaps – (him to me in lieu of forgetting to get a card) it feels like It may be crashing down. How do marriages get like that? Silences; prolonged sulks -. passing each other like ships in the night and body swerving about the kitchen island..only speaking to one another in front of Guests that kind of thing …only tonight I felt he had stooped to a new low. He has refused to eat anything I have prepared (and I do – every night – for just about a month but tonight invited our Nanny to sit down and same scallops dipped in root ginger and dill, with him.
A line has been crossed.
