Dear Alan,
I
would like to thank you very much for your Christmas Card. I have just received
it because we have been on holidays. It is very “African” not the junky
Christmas cards we get here.
Dennis
and I and Benjamin went down to Point Leo (near Hastings) on the backside of
the Mornington Peninsular for 6 days.
We have
bought an old caravan off Dennis’s aunt and uncle and towed it all the way
there. It is a very comfortable and a quite big caravan. It has a stove fridge
etc.
I have
been carrying this aerogram around in my bag for about a month always intending
to write and never finding the time. This is partly because I was so busy
before Christmas – there was plenty of shopping to do and running around.
Benjamin also had an operation to fix up an undescended right testicle. He was
in the Sunshine Private hospital for a few days before Christmas.
He
didn’t miss Dennis or I at all. He was thoroughly spoilt by al the sisters and
the other patients. He used to “visit” all the patients who really loved him.
He was also allowed to go to the kitchen whenever he felt the urge for a drink
or some food. He wasn’t sore at all which I think one of the reasons why he
enjoyed himself so much.
He is
already 3 years 3 months – time flies. He is quite tall now, and still a bit
blond.
The
cricket this summer has been great Australia leads in the struggle for the
ashes 2-1. They should win the last test which finishes this week. Every test has been full of interest, close
and including many moments of great cricket. Much better than the “One-day
Wack-ups” as Dennis calls them. An ex-South African has been doing quite well
for Australia – Kepler Wessels.
On
February the First I start work again at Tottenham Tech. I will be teaching
Year 11 Maths @ General Science Year 7 maths (2 groups) and Year 8 Science.
Hope all is well with you,
Love
Anne, Dennis @ Benjamin
