From Melbourne
16.12.84

Dear Alan, Lorna, Jolene and Melissa,
                                                This letter is mainly to wish you all a very happy Christmas, though I think it will reach you after Christmas.

                As you will hear from Mum we had a Neyland   reunion on the 2nd December. All of mum’s cousins and their offsprings were there.   It was a great party and plenty of photographs were taken. I think Mum is sending you some.    

                 Dennis has started a new job. It is working in factory ARC just down the road. He has to maintain the machines which are enormous. ARC make wire products including garden  fences and fences that people put around backyard swimming pools. I think that by law you have to have backyard pools fenced off as each year several toddlers have been drowned.

                 We finish the school year on the 18th December. The teachers are having a barbeque on the 17th and chicken and champagne break-up on the 18th.  For the last month not many students have been at school as not much has been happening.

                We start school again on the 5th February so we have a long holiday. Benjamin starts school “preps” and is looking forward to it and he is certainly ready for it. We are having Christmas dinner at my Mother-in-law’s and I don’t have to cook anything – so Christmas will be easy and relaxed.

                                Bye for now
                                                                Love Anne XXXXXX
