From Melbourne

Dear Lorna,
I am
enclosing a few odds and ends for children. I am not sure of the sizes but they
can change them around if necessary.
I forgot to ask Norm before he went to work whether he will
be able to come to Beechworth at the end of the holidays when I bring Jolene
and Melissa back. He most likely will say that he doesn’t know yet. He will
just have to make up his mind in a few weeks and I will let you know then.
All the
jumpers, hats & mittens are not knitted with pure wool so do not have to be
so careful about washing them.
We had
a letter from your mother last week. Funny we had just been saying we must
write to them when the letter arrived. She said she was waiting for Debbie’s
baby then they were all going to Margate for a holiday. After that she says
they are going to Kruger National Park. In Pamela’s’ last two letters she has
been trying to get to Kruger NP. But she hasn’t got there yet.
Did you
see in the paper the other day there was an article about the weather getting
warmer. IT said if the weather keeps going the way it is then in 40 years there
will be no frosts at Beechworth or Benalla. These were the two towns mentioned.
I am not sure whether that is a good thing or not but 40 years is a long way
off.
I
certainly wouldn’t be building any new ski resorts which seems to be what the
government is doing.
I just
thought if the mittens are too big thread a piece of elastic around the wrist
to keep them on. I am not sure how Jolene & Melissa want to wear the hats
but I think they would be warmer if you don’t turn up the bottoms. Pamela’s letter will just have to wait
because I started yours first. I am going into the National Parks office to
help a lady there. It’s a bit vague what
I am going to do. I’m just a volunteer. I will let you know what I am doing in
the holidays as soon as I know what I am doing.
Love
to Melissa, Jolene and Stacey.
Mum
and Grandma
