Dear Alan, Lorna & Girls,
Thanks Lorna for the phone call – hope you enjoyed your
birthday sorry I wasn’t at Debbie’s when she phoned you.
We have only got a car going so my wings have been clipped –
I didn’t really mind, but here are times when one does need a car especially
where we are.
We are picking Regan up from school tomorrow & taking
him home we will spend the weekend with Jenny – then we ae going to meet with
the Hayes at Lionel & Debbie’s caravan & we will be staying there 5
days. Debbie & Lionel will take Regan back to boarding school. The hotel
seems to be doing O.K. they were fully booked for Easter & again last
weekend for the Bergville to Ladysmith race.
I told you Neal had bought a small arm – Dad & I think
he is quite mad , as at every protest meeting by the kaffirs they always sing
“Kill a boer a day” “Kill a farmer a day
“they have been hauled over the coals about it. A woman in Debbie’s street was murdered
yesterday – things are really bad here at the moment & stupid de Klerk does
nothing but apologise to the kaffirs – all the whites I know are getting fed up
with the way they are allowed to carry on, & they are causing more hatred.
We had lovely rains for a couple of days, but now summer
seems to be over – we were really lucky as we had a long summer.
I have got the fibre glass to do the back – now I just need
poles & some iron, I just wish it were up. Eric Jones is going to do it for
me.
I made new curtains for my bedroom today & everything
went wrong I must have unpicked them a dozen times, anyway they are now hung.
I had a super weekend with Sheila – she & I get on so
well & think alike. I spent all Saturday morning on the beach then we went
to the cemetery, then to visit Aunty Myrtle, they are all well. Well no more news.
Tons of
love to you all from,
Dad,
Mum & family XXXXXXXXX
