Dear Alan and Lorna,
We
have thought about your idea of us coming over. We thought it would be better
to wait until the Christmas holidays. These holidays you will have just settled
in and will have plenty to do. Also Norm
has nearly finished at the factory no printing machine is left and Ray is away
for 3 weeks on a holiday around Australia in a DC3. A wonderful way to see the
country.
We
would like to come over sometime in Dec, Jan or maybe Feb. We haven’t really decided
but around Christmas. Down at the RACV they had a display of holidays in Tassie
with East West airlines. I didn’t have time yesterday to look at it but there
was a lot of information.
I have included
a list of all the eucalypts that grow in Tassie. The numbers just mean the page
of the book. I was looking at “Field guide to Eucalypts.” A good book if you can get it.
The
trees I have ticked are the ones that I would like to grow from seed. Not all
at once but you might get to find some from the Society of Growing Australian
Plants in Hobart. They might be a good organization for to join to find out
about plants for your garden.
As you
can see we already grow a lot from the area because we have found they grow
well there. I haven’t found one from Western Victoria survive.
Pamela
hasn’t got a job yet so she is around our house most of the day knitting or
reading. She gets bored so yesterday she came with me when I took Auntie Grace & Win for a drive. We had a good
afternoon drive along the Beach Rd and had afternoon tea at tea rooms on the
beach at Beaumaris. Even though it was a little cold and a bit of rain they
wanted to come out – anything for a change.
Dear
Melissa Jolene & Stacey,
I
have put a book in for each of you so
that when Mummy and Daddy are sifting and they are very busy and they don’t
want you to help you can keep out of the way with your book. I finished the
dress for Stacey’s doll. It looks a bit big but she should be able to dress it
herself. Jolene and Melissa can you read
the poems to Stacey. I bought it because I liked the drawings but the poems she
could learn some. You might even be able to sing them. I hope you have found
some new friends already.
Love
from
Grandma
