Toblerone Cookies

 
Dear Cousin, 

How I wished you lived closer.

For today is your birthday.

And today, if you lived in my street, I would knock on your door and give you a kiss.

And these flowers...

 and invite you to tea.

And I before you came over I would bake you these cookies, from our lovely block of Toblerone that went spotty in the heat wave. 


Then the boy would make you a delightful coffee. 


And you and I would sit and chat and laugh and just enjoy being together...
in the same street.




Dear Cousin, 

I miss you. xx
