Les Aumarets is a magical place. So many happy memories wandering her rooms, listening to the birds in the wee dark hours, laughing in the kitchen, long hours lingering at the dinner table, first as a ten year old girl, then a surly teenager, young woman then a mother with my three children. Our time there was the glue that bonded me to my sisters. Merci beaucoup to you and your family.

How wonderful to hear! What era was that? Did we ever meet?

I have not met you but our parents knew each other through our love of your home. We went from the summer of 1979 on and off but more on until 2011. My maiden name is Kempner.

Oh you’re a Kempner! I guessed as much after I sent that note. I always heard of your family and used to imagine a whole other set of people (you!) loving the house as we do. How funny to at last say hello. You’ll be pleased to hear it’s almost completely unchanged - do be in touch if you’d like to go out again one day.
