From Howick
17.1.87

Dear Alan, Lorna & Girls,

                Well we arrived home last Monday night at 9 p.m. after 3 ½ weeks on the road – we had a lovely holiday, but were very tired. 
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….We have paid our airfare to Australia R 7,300 just to Sydney & back – so you can guess we are cutting things very fine, but Daddy is really looking forward to his holiday……………………..

All the family are well & your parcels have started to arrive & everyone very thrilled with the things you have made for them.

                Jimmy wants Dad & I to have a 10 day holiday with them spending a weekend at Scottburgh 4 days in Bergville then a weekend at Royal National. I can’t believe it Vanessa missed us so much that she has insisted that Dad & I go down & spend at least a week with her & she doesn’t know what she is going to do when we go away for 3 months.

                The weather is very very hot & we have had no rain for ages. We have picked all the potatoes & the fruit is finished – the beans are just coming on & we also have carrots & turnips. I am going to start cooking lunch again & then just have a snack for super as I think it will be better for Dad.

                Well no more news as my hand is giving me grief, looking forward to seeing you all again,

                                                                                Tons of love from

                                                                                                Dad, Mum & family
