From Margate
1.6.87
Dear Allan, Lorna & Girls,
Well
here we are at Margate again & we have been very lucky as they have kindly
let us have cottage No 8 right on the beach & the weather has been heavenly
30 today – I have been swimming in the sea pool & the sea everyday so far
& also enjoying the jacuzzi – at the
moment Debbie, Lionel & Jonathon are busy enjoying it & Fay is asleep – she loves the water more than
Johnathon, who complains after a short while that it is stinging him, but Fay
will stay in for as long as you. They were catching shad today & our neighbours
caught 21 one day last week – but so far nether Dad nor Lionel have tried to
fish.
It was the Comrades today so we thought of Allan last
year. Bruce Fordyce won again for the 7th
consecutive time. I hope you can read this as I am sitting on the bed as square
eyes is parked in front of the TV & it’s blazing out “Air Way.”
Neal & the boys spent Friday with us – Vanessa was
working –we had a lovely day & in the afternoon they all went to the royal
Show & Jock found a friend with a aeroplane, who took him for a trip, then
Jock, Lionel & the friend flew down to Margate on Saturday 7 we picked
Lionel up t the aerodrome – it cost Lionel R10. The traffic was so bad on
Saturday that it took us an hour to get from Port Shepstone to Margate –
Thursday was Ascension Day 7 today Republic Day, so most people took Friday off
& so had 5 day long weekend. Neal is supposed to be going to the army, but
hoping to get out of it. C…. has broken off her engagement to Jock.
Lesley…………………………………………………………………………..Sherry is in the netball
team & goes all over playing netball & enjoying it.
Sheila & family are well – we have seen a lot of them
lately & Sheila is doing well with her sewing.
Jenny, Jim & family well – Jenny is doing music exams –
on the 13th so will be at our place went we get home & we will
have Tara’s birthday party then.
Lesley paid me to make Stacey a dress & I bought a pair
of water proofs. I bought the others the Easter bunnies are belated Easter gifts
for the girls.
I am busy making Aunty Maureen a jersey then I’ll do the
other one for the girls.
Hope the elephants arrived safely & that you could sell
them at a good price. Well I will close now & tell those lazy grandchildren
of mine that it’s time they wrote to me
I’ll get postcards off to them one day this week.
Tons
of love to all of you,
Dad,
Mum & family
