Dear Alan, Lorna & Girls,
Its ages since I last wrote but I have been busy looking
after the grandchildren. They are all very good, but eat like horses & I
spend my whole day cooking for them. while I was in Durban I cooked for both
Sheila & Neal & did we eat well as one day Sheila would provide the
where with all & the next day Neal, so we landed up having 2 roasts a week
& eating rump steak. Sheila & her family except for Ronald are mostly
vegetarian.
Jenny’s kids have just gone home – also Neal, Vanessa &
boys. Sheila’s kids didn’t come as Angela came up from Cape Town & they stayed
with her to help her look after her little girl also Melanie’s. I really
enjoyed having everyone here as we went to Midmar twice & I made a potjie
each day – Thursday it rained all day so the kids watched videos all day &
I made popcorn & toffee apples – now the kids say I must open a shop &
they will sell all the cakes & sweets I make.
Dad (TV addict) is busy watching “Beyond 2000” he won’t miss
it for anything & moans like a stuck pig if there is sport on & they
don’t show it. My wrist is playing up & I am having a job writing this
letter. I have just made 4 pairs of baggies & a skirt.
I have just come back from making supper & it has given
my wrist a chance. It doesn’t affect my knitting at all. We had lovely soaking rain & my vegetable
seeds have all come through – I thought I had lost them all. I have painted the
pool, will only fill it when I come home from Southbroom.
We are going to Jenny on Tuesday to look after the kids for
her while she is writing her final examinations. On the 30th we are
going to Vereeniging for Gary’s wedding, then from there we are going with the
Hayes to Southbroom for a much needed holiday. Richard Page is getting married
in December but I don’t think we will be able to make that wedding. The kids
all caught fish at Midmar so were very excited. Don’t mind my jumping around.
Must close now as my back is now playing up, I’m a real old crock.
Tons of love to you all from,
Dad, Mum & family XXXXXXXXXXX
