From St Francis Bay January 2000

 

St Francis Bay

Jan 2000

Dear Alan, Lorna @ Girls,

Very many thanks for the money which you sent for Xmas. It paid for our trip down here 1,006 kms + 12 hours of solid driving we were famished by the time we arrived to a very warm welcome.

I think that this spot is one of the most beautiful spots that I have been to @ relatively safe. Daryl Montague was murdered on 2nd January @ since we have arrived here another friend’s son has also been murdered. I think Kevin @ family are staying permanently in Australia @ Gary has gone to England for 3 years, been sent there by Sasol, but despite the two murders things are really quite safe as long as one is not foolhardy @ takes care. We are having a hard time medically as Greys is now a referral hospital, so if we take ill we must go to Northdale so I am trying to put money aside each month so that we can go to a private Dr if we really need to.

The Besters are all well @ Debbie said she spoke to you yesterday. The next doors still not talking to me but talk to Daddy. Daddy was most upset with Jenny as Tara phoned to talk to us (she @ Tam-lyn always do) so Dad said is your mother there @ then asked to talk to her then I spoke to her next thing she comes down to visit Debbie @ doesn’t even bother to come @ see us, so Dad is furious. I mean he will be 80 years old next year @ I hope she doesn’t leave it too late to come @ see him.

Neal is still a darling slipped me R100 as we were leaving. Vanessa like Ronald suffering from foot in the mouth disease, she was so rude to Sherry @ Juan who had gone to the trouble of getting cheap meat for Alyson, Then Alyson not bothering to pay @ these kids without money, but when Sherry phoned today she said Vanessa had phoned her @ apologised. Sherry, Juan @ kids well @ give us so much pleasure. Daddy adores Leah @ everytime Aaron sees me its “water Nana” as I always take him swimming. Ronald Lumgair is always very good to us @ tonight said again we could live permanently with him, but hey are too unreliable although he is doing very well in his business. Taryn is enjoying her year of her life for Christ @ Donavan doing waiting at a restaurant @ earning good money. Run out of space @ time now 10pm.

Lots of love from Mum, Dad, Sheila, Ron @ family
