Dear Allan, Lorna & Girls,
Well
this will be a short inbetween letter as I like to try & write every week.
We are off to Durban tomorrow morning early to go and buy material from the
factory shop, go swimming & then to Morag’s wedding…….. – know for the
surprise of the year Patrick & May are getting married on the 1st
of May & are getting married at 8:30 am followed by a champagne breakfast
at the hotel. So Dad & I will be going as he is finished work on the 30th
April. Dad’s back still isn’t healed so I sent him back to the Dr & has
some new medicine now, so I am sure it will heal now. We went to the Midmar Dam
for the weekend with the Besters & who should pitch up, but Aunty Phyllis
with Cheryl & kids – they had come
up for my birthday & you won’t believe this they phoned & Besselina told them where we were &
they found us – it was really a lovely surprise. On Monday Jenny, Jim &
Tara came for the day so I had 8 adults & 5 children for my birthday lunch.
Jenny has bought the Mazda so it is quite funny with only 1 car – otherwise I
would be at the Besters tonight as Ron, Les & kids have gone caravanning to
Midmar Dam……….I have fed them all this week & gave Clinton a party on
Wednesday afternoon. I am busy knitting & sewing, trying to make a few
rands on the side. I am making shirts from the pattern in the April “Your Family”. It is a super pattern & I am churning out shirts by the dozen also
boxer shorts & I have sold quite a few
already, that is why I must go & replenish my material tomorrow. It has
been so hot here today I have been in the pool twice. The kids are on 3 weeks
vacation, so are bound to drive me mad. Neal, Vanessa & boys are coming up
for a week on the 13th. I am much happier about Daddy now & very
pleased that he won’t be working night shift any more as it was very lonely
& I am a nervous person into the bargain. Can you believe that Stacey will
be 1 year old on Tuesday. Must close.
Tons of love from Dad,
Mum & family
