Dear Lorna, Allan & family,
Sorry I have taken so long to write. It was very nice to receive
a letter from you. I have been so busy sewing you wouldn’t believe it. After
doing the stretch knit course, we did the quilted jacket course. I made two
jackets, one for Fay, one for myself. They are lovely, but what a lot of hard
work. I am now doing the gift course which is making things like quilted oven
gloves. It is so nice to see all the wonderful things one can do. I am also
busy doing a bit of sewing for Jonathon’s school.
Neal has been staying with us this week. Gee it is lovely to
have him. The children just love him. In fact he looked after Nicholas this
morning while I went to have my hair permed. He has been helping Lionel at the
factory. Sheila is coming up next weekend to look after my kids. We are having
a school reunion (ten years out of school) can you believe it? There is a pub
lunch at Nottingham Road on Saturday, a dinner dance in the evening; a braai on
Sunday at Midmar. Because Ma is not going to be here, Sheila said she would
come up for the weekend. My kids are so fond of her; so happy with the
arrangement. Nicholas is so fond of Tarryn as she spends all her time playing
with him. They usually spend their holidays here.
I must tell you that we are busy doing plans for building
our house. I am so excited about it I can’t tell you. It is going to be lovely
to have our own place again. We are not going to do it ourselves. Lionel’s friend
who is a builder is going to do it for us. We are probably going to start when
we come back from our holiday in Margate in June.
Send love to everyone; write again soon.
With lots of love
from Debbie, Lionel, Jonathon, Fay; Nicholas.
