My darling hubby,
Isn't it a lovely day for the 1st of Spring, I wish we could be together to enjoy it. I wonder if you have been out this morning, it's just been on the 1'oclock news of course I know there are plenty more Lancaster’s besides yours' but I just wondered.
Your laundry arrived OK. & the photo which is very nice; the oranges came in the nick of time thank you. I'm taking the capsules & almost choked over the first one Derek had to have a taste & swallowed it without any fuss I think he chewed it. Who is the little girl with you on the snap? I think you must have been stood nearer the
[page break]
camera, I think it's quite good & even if you were as fat as that I would still love you the same.
