From Merrivale
13.5.1993
Dear Alan, Lorna & Girls,
We had a lovely time in the Berg with the Hayes. We went to
Royal National everyday. The mountains
are breathtaking. We met a young pharmacist from Hobart, who is staying in the
caravan park & touring South Africa. He is going to try & get a job in
the Hobart hospital when he returns – his name is Graham Hughes. His parents have
a shack at Coles Bay & live there permanently. We went to the Hotel Walter
for dinner one evening & had a lovely meal.
I have been so busy this week as Bonzie came over & put
up my fibre glass for me. We are 3 sheets short & Neal will get them
tomorrow & bring them back on Monday. The back really looks lovely as I
have been busy painting all the pots & replanting. The kids bought me a
cement Chinese lamp for out the back – Neal will put tit up on Monday too.
Can you believe it the weather has been very hot 31 C today.
Early mornings are still cold. I am so busy gardening & cooking that I
haven’t time to sew & there is so much I want to do. I am also knitting
madly.
All the family are well. Debbie is giving Nicky a pirate’s
party on Saturday & I will make him a pirate ship cake. Matthew is a
darling all smiles. I said to Deb of
course he is always smiling as he is fed & carried around all the time. He
sleeps from 9.30 pm – 4.30 am so that’s not bad. Neal has got his farm &
lots & lots of hard work as the house is just a shell – the same as Debbie
& Lionel’s house at Merrivale Heights.
No more news so I’ll sign off for now.
Tons of
love to you all from,
Dad,
Mum & family
