As if the 10 11 years of estrangement weren't heart-wrenching enough, the description of Copenhagen watching and nearly letting Marengo die alone, and then a letter because there was nothing else he could think of to do and I have just started crying again because it was so awful and good.

I know! Simultaneously completely ridiculous and get incredibly moving. Lasst week it was Fifty Shades of Hay, and now this!

I wasn't being hyperbolic about the crying either, I started halfway through Copenhagen's final letter, and didn't stop until a little while after the end. It was so Copenhagen not to really get what Marengo wanted, and so Marengo not to tell him what he really wanted, and I am so happy (while obviously still traumatised) that he was there when he died. Oh Copenhagen.

Why am I crying because of two fictional horses? I can't believe it's over.

We are crying because all that epistolary love and they only had TWO DAYS together before the saddest and most beautiful horse death of all time.

Two days after all those years and yet they were better than either of them dreamed even after all those years.

The writers are geniuses and whoever cast them is a genius too.

I don't know what this is about but I trust Sarah's been told.

Have you not listened to any of the Warhorses of Letters radio series? Oh my horsey god! They are very, very funny. I also did tell Sarah about it and if she hasn't listened she has only herself to blame. Also she's coming to see me on Friday so I can make her listen to them then.

I made the mistake of listening to it while working. At least I work all by myself, but... *smudged, tear-stained hoofprint*
