One fine afternoon, a few months back now, french boy was cleaning the outside of the boat while I was cozily tucked up inside, working away on my book. Unbeknown to me, he had seen two stray swan feathers floating nearby in the canal and, knowing how much I love feathers and how I love to watch the swans when they come by, he grabbed our broom and spent a good while trying to lure the feathers in closer to the edge of the boat. When he finally got hold of them he came inside, and with each feather in the palm of each hand he walked up to me and pronounced, “these are for you”.
French boy is so thoughtful! And the photo is gorgeous. xo

Awwww, so romantic. What a fella. Much better than the fungi or lichen scratchings I occasionally get offered, which are really about my partner and not so much about me. Great gallumph.

How special that must make you feel – and how special he must be.
I saw once in a magazine, somebody had a collection of white feathers in a glass or perspex box – it looked fabulous.

Swans mate for life of course.
