From St Albans
18.3.87
Dear Alan, Lorna, Melissa, Jolene & Stacey,
I hope
this letter finds you all well. First of all an apology for not writing sooner
and a big apology to Melissa as regards her birthday. Could you please send me
the correct dates for all your birthdays. I now Alan’s and I think Stacey’s is
the 7th April.
We have
had a mucked-up year so far. Dennis had his tonsils out on the 12th
Feb at the Sunshine Private Hospital. He was going well and feeling better than
he had in years when 9 days after the operation they started to bled and
wouldn’t stop. I had to take him to the eye and ear Hospital at 4 o’clock in
the morning with the 2 kids.
When he came home a few days later the doctor “grounded” him
for 2 weeks so it would not happen again. I did not go out much either but he
has finally started work again last night.
Peter
is growing up fast and is and is over 4 months. He is no problem and is still
just on breastmilk which helped me to lose weight.
We have
been blackberrying twice – once with the Baptist church and once with Mum &
Dad & Auntie Grace and Auntie Winn. I find blackberrying and going for bush
walks most relaxing.
I
really hope you have settled in especially Lorna. I feel pretty useless to you down here but I
do intend to come up sometime – possible come up by train during the week and
get Dennis to pick us up at the weekend.
There
are other possibilities of course and it all depends on our finances and your
plans for the school holidays.
Dennis
and I have decided we do not want anything for the sheepskin – it is a Welcome
to Australia present for you (and I can’t get anything more Australian than a
sheep’s back!) I will give you the instructions on how to wash it.
Once
again I hope all is well and you have settled into your new house, Love Anne
XXXXX
