Have made a cake which I will send off to you tomorrow. Yesterday the gardener came & did more tidying up. Incidentally he dug in all that rubbish you had piled up [deleted] I e [/deleted] under the tree the other day, and now behold the potatoes have sprouted gaily & I shouldn’t be surprised if we get a crop off them in midwinter. The blackberries are just coming into their own, we had some windfall apples for lunch today. Hope the parcel of socks & the book which I posted yesterday arrive O.K. Barbara is home again now, but still no word from Mrs S.
Yours as always
Ursula.
