Darling J,
It is so good to hear from you - I mean actually YOU. It sounds as if you are having a very full life at sea. I am really missing you and all our chats. I have been to your house a few times (to collect the post) and it seems really odd without you. It is, however, beautifully clean and tidy!
It has stayed very hot here and there has been almost no rain, so the ground is dry and cracked. Today has seen a couple of showers. I am rather pleased with myself because I cut the grass just before the rain started.
I spent last weekend at Celia and David’s new house, which is very nice. They have an absolutely beautiful but rather dog-unfriendly garden. We went one day to the Oxted Show, which is very much like the Alresford Show except that the ferrets were asleep in hammocks rather than racing. Lily got very hot and tired. I decided not to show her the photo of Obie swimming in the sea! David is very impressed with your love of fishing. Perhaps you can try again for a bigger fish, or do you need another lure? If the latter, I am sure you can find a fishing shop in one of the Spanish ports which you are going to visit.
I am playing my trumpet in a concert tomorrow night. I hope I don’t make too many mistakes or, if I do, that nobody hears them.
Please write again soon.
All love,
Grandma
Xxxxxxxx.
Darling J,
We are missing you too but your delightful blog has been so informative & painted the picture of your travels so far that we can imagine being with you.
Keep opening your mind to the adventures ahead & look forward to exploring our wonderful & magical & exciting world.
Love you & miss you all xxxxx granny xxx.
& we are missing you too, my darling.
Keep fishing - you will catch a really good one, if you persist.
Love you & see you very soon xx
Lots of love Granny.
Ahh lovely blog J!! So good to hear from you. You sound like a top notch crew member to me - how are you getting on with knots? We’re all missing you lots here in Dartmouth! L W and O xxx.
Hello J and all
Liz and I have loved reading all about your adventures so please keep them coming
We love the pictures too
Our first rose is that it has been raining here which is great for our very thirsty garden
Our second rose is that the work on our house is all finished so we are happy with that
Our thorn is that we really miss all of you too but are so happy to hear and see your blogs
Our bud is that we are going on holiday next week to Rhodes and have a big stack of books to read
Sending love and hugs xx.
What a beautiful and well balanced post J
We all enjoyed reading about your best bits and think the game rose, rose, thorn, buds is super!! I agree, the party boats sound super annoying so I’m glad that’s all behind you now.
We also have a special fondness for pizza and glad to hear you managed to wangle an American style meal out of your parents too :-)
We miss you all too and Oliver is excited to see you again so you can be “naughty together!”.
Have lots of fun and enjoy your adventures!
Love, The Hart’s xx.
