From Empangeni
Dear Mr & Mrs Carlton,
Thank you for all the photos you sent. I certainly did not
recognize Alan in the photo that was taken of him and his sisters at that
picnic. Alan says that Beverley has changed such a lot that he hardly
recognizes her. We have sorted out a few more photos for you. The three with
Alan and myself were taken at the Zululand Safari Lodge at Hluhluwe where we
spent a weekend. The other photos are the bridge that was washed away during
the flood just in front of my sister’s house in Swaziland and of Melissa and Jolene
with friends and cousins at my mother’s house. At the moment I am studying very
hard for my exams. I have already written one exam and have another five to
write.
The weather has warmed up quite a lot already and we are
swimming nearly everyday at the swimming pool.
Alan ran a 16 km race last Saturday evening, it was his
first race in over a year, and he came 24th and then won a lucky
prize after the race. Melissa and Jolene were so excited about it. Alan is
going to studying computer science with the university next year, also
correspondence, for non-degree purposes. At the moment he is busty making a
word processor program for the computer so that we can use it as a word
processor as well. One of these days you will get a letter printed by the computer.
You mentioned in your letter that you wondered if we ever
see anything of Australia in the news. We quite often see things on TV about
Australia but it is usually a dog that can write his name and lay the piano, or
a man riding on the back of a cow which he has trained to carry him like a horse
or something funny, but nothing newsworthy. Melissa and Jolene have drawn
pictures for you. Melissa’s is of Alan
running on the rack track and Jolene’s is a house and a flower.
Anyway, that’s all for now
Love
from Lorna
