Dear Alan, Lorna & Girls,
It was so lovely talking to you on the phone this morning
& hearing all your news.
Dad was in hospital for 3 days & had tests & is all
clear - now he will go back again in September & if he is clear again once
a year for 5 years then no more. It’s
been a worrying time for me I have really felt it & I’m a bit shaky &
nervy still, but are going away quite
abit now so hope I’ll come right. We are going to Sheila on Tuesday for
a week, then home for a week, then down to Southbroom for 2 weeks. Sheila &
Debbie & families are going to Fanies Island, St Lucia & Kosi Bay camping,
they wanted us to go with them, but Dad likes his comfits now in his old age
& I also think it will be very crowded, that’s why we have decided to go
with Uncle Brian & Aunty Maureen, they have just spent a few days with us
in the Drakensberg in Debbie & Lionel’s caravan. We spent 2 weekends with
Jim & Jenny, they are doing very well, but have a cash flow problem as Escom
takes about 6 months to pay. Tara is in Capetown on a school tour. Debbie, Lionel & kids have gone to the
caravan for 5 days & Sheila & children will join them tomorrow. They
will come here for breakfast first.
I’m busy making chutney I have quite a few good customers,
one person took 80 bottles, I have also been making cards & have just got
an order for 6, they are steady sellers.
Byron & Wesley are here for the weekend, they don’t like
going to Durban & especially as they stay with Alison & family.
Kathy Jones baby is expected any minute so Lesley &
Ronald are going to Durban to look after …. It’s been 30 today very hot I look
forward to autumn but not winter. Kathy had a baby boy today Patrick’s 37th
birthday. Our car is broken again so I had to get Bonzie to take me to P.M.Burg
to get it sorted out. Neal is here putting pine ceilings in our bedroom. Must
close.
Tons
of love from, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dad,
Mum & family, XXXXXXXXXX
