Dear Travelling lady

1  About to leave for Leeds, Brighouse, and Hipperholme.  My wellington boots are packed.  I have just had a word with Giles.  All is in place.  Let the week commence.

2  I wonder how I will get on for the week.  The visit will be the longest I will have made to anyone, as opposed to anywhere, for as long as I can remember.  How will I get on?  We'll see.

3  Meanwhile, a good visit to Uckfield yesterday.  Max's birthday was celebrated by his familiar cousins.  How fortunate to be brought up in the company of cousins.  The young man is now 15 years of age.

4  Swimming this morning.  The water was cooler than the water off the Brazilian coast.

5  I wonder how you are getting on.  I will reply to your text.  The absence, however, of longer communications is apparent.

Much love

The visitor
