RE:England in flask!

the OH my pippa! I cannot believe with what a sweet you are, almost to have a baby and time to have always to send this beautiful flask to me of cold of quince, packed so much admirably too!

Agnes and Etienne eat it for the breakfast each morning and also in the school in their boxed lunch that all their friends are very jealous! You must send even more the nextest time you see old Mme. Bell in bottom of the lane.

Soignoise,

Modern architecture

Ooh I've had a lovely week with Celine and the bebes but really ever so tiring (and Agnes and Etienne are such darlings but tri-lingual don't you know, which I find not a little exhausting), all culminating in a children's architecture workshop, where Ludo helped them build the Trellick Tower out of stickle bricks.

Yes I see what you say. He is man of the world, always busy – people, people, people; things, things, things; work, work, work. But the clock it goes tick-tock you know for man also. Ludo Jansdotter is very much in love with you, he indicates Pfeiffer at the party for Yo Beowulf. He was very drunk but in the vin the vérité non?

What? That Ludo Jansdotter does not know these news yet? Do you joke? You must say to him! Pippa!

RE:Congratulations!!!

Wow! which is news fantastique! What Ludo Jansdotter does indicate? Is it happy? Oh now you can join to me in my insane world!
Oh dear, now I become emotive, thinking of you and me in Paris when 14 years old. You had just the escape the house and you upwards turned on my doorstep avec juste your invicta bagpack. My mother always speaks about this! She will be so happy. Can I tell to her?
Ah Pippa, now you are woman!

Lunch with C.B

Soooo busy. Lunch with Charlotte Gainsbourg was lovely and it transpires that Ludo Jansdotter knows her mother since they attended the same Hungarian Throat Warbling class so I had no need to worry about him using me to get to her. Silly, silly Pip!
Still, I’m sure she may be somewhat perturbed to know he makes strange experimental films about her, nay alarmed!

Anyway, Miss Gainsbourg doesn’t half talk but she is such a natural beauty, I was quite spellbound. After lunch we had brandy and chocolates at the Covent Garden Hotel and what with all the hot yoga in the morning, it turned out to be quite an exhausting day.

Ludo Jansdotter is off to Paris tomorrow for a few days working on a Diesel ad so I will have a chance to catch my breath. Hoping he’ll be back in time to escort me to the opening night of Yo Beowulf – a shadow puppet cabaret.

I’ve got Natalie Spooner’s Vanity Fair shoot this week to keep me occupied. Graziella and I are up to our eyes in Maribel de las Casas swimwear. I do miss having Celine around to share all this with, but alas she is stuck in Paris with the little bebes and busy enough keeping la bicyclette bleu en float.

All Paris speaks about it!

RE:what continues?

Pippa! What is all this that I must intend to speak about you and of Ludo Jansdotter? All Paris speaks about it. Loretta indicated Nancy, Nancy indicated Pfeiffer and Pfeiffer indicated to me. Nouvelles please!
I manque of Pfeiffer terribly and donot can wait to come to see - they indicate to me its solo of groove as something to behold.
This evening I sing in a new club in Montmartre called by Rififi. Only me and the accordian. It promises to be a great exposure.

Thank you for your flowers and bonbons for Agnes, it recovers well of measles.

RE:je suis désolé

Lovable Pip, I am regrettable yesterday concerning the conversation of Sofia Coppola. I must start taking appropriate English class really. I use online translation service for writing the letter, but you do not think that is very good - perhaps you can say to me.

I do not think probably to make the book party of Cave Spooner, there is a measles in Agnes and Pfeiffer begins rehearsal for Yo Beowulf - puppet cabaret of shadow, therefore he is not many help.
Soigneuse,

Celine

Who's that girl?...Celine

Celine grew up on the beaches of the south of France and spent most of her childhood on the road and in smokey jazz clubs with singer mother Claudette Bonnuit.

After working in Paris on cult magazine La Bicyclette Bleu with Pippa, she now has a regular spot in Claudette’s happening club Soiree.

She is married to flautist Pfeiffer Braun and has two children, Agnes and Etienne.
