From Melbourne
2.7.84
Dear Alan and Lorna,
We
have just received your letter today saying that you are married. We were
pleased to hear it you should be happy together and the two girls.
I am
glad that we were able to go and see you both before so we don’t feel as if
Lorna is a stranger. We have a few photos
of Lorna and the girls that we took but none of them are very good so if you
have any good photos could you please send us some. We have only got the ones
taken at Umfolozi and at Vereeniging and they are just photos. Don’t send us
photos just sitting around looking at the camera but good ones of the children
playing and Lorna doing something.
When we
think what to send we will send you something for a belated wedding present – I
can’t think what it will be but I hope an idea will come.
Lois
rang up tonight and she was happy to hear you were married I am sure that is
what she would like to do. At present she is off from school with a broken bone
in her hand from hockey.
You
said in your letter it was getting cold if you had ben here today you would
know what it is like to be cold. It got to 9 today. There was snow in the
mountains and in the lower hills today. It was freezing outside and now it is
raining. But until today it has been a mild winter and one of the driest May and
June we have had.
Even
though it is so cold Dad went back to work tonight so I am here by myself.
Beverley should be home for tea tomorrow night.
I am
not sure if I mentioned in my last letter that Anne had left Dennis and because
and because the place she is staying at is only temporary she may be coming
back here. We have plenty of room with three spare bedrooms and only Beverley
now and again since Pamela went to Tonga last weekend.
Some
one said to me the other day they can only be sure of what they are doing one
day at a time and how true it is.
Tell
Jolene and Melissa that when they are old enough that they have to come to
Australia and visit us. I am sure they would enjoy it. I think Jolene and
Benjamin are about the same age. But just at present Benjamin has nothing to do
with girls – he and his friend Daniel “don’t like” girls and only play with
boys. He will learn.
3-7-84 today is even colder the children at the kindergarten
didn’t take off their parkas although we had the heaters on. Would you ever get
a frost where you are?
A man
who said he was a friend of yours in Queensland wanted to get in touch with you
because he wants to go to Zimbabwe. I told him that you wouldn’t be much help
but I did give him your address. He was a dentist in Queensland.
Give
my love to everybody
Mum
