Friday 3rd April. Happy heavenly Good Friday my darling. I am back at the caravan for about eleven nights. It is a bit chilly but when there is some sun and it comes through the windows it is lovely and warm. Just resting up at the moment but think I am going to read my book for a while. Yesterday was Norahs birthday so I managed to get a signaI and phoned her up. She was so pleased. I think Archie is staying for two nights next week, starting Monday I have booked him in for swimming at 11 30am on Tuesday. The temperature looks as if it may hit 17 degrees. Miss you so much my darling. Will love and miss you always. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

21st March 2026. Hi love, 33 years today since Mam died. Please give her all our love. Perhaps you and Derek could all celebrate together. She is always remembered. I miss you so much my darling. I so wish you were here then the silly woman next door wouldn't park her car right across the drive. Simon and I asked her not to and she didn't for about a week but back to normal now. I hate shared drives. They cleaned their front flags yesterday and we ended up with all their debris in our front garden. It was really bad and it took me almost two hours to clean up after them. They are both so lazy. Sorry about the winge my love. Love you so much. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

Monday 9th March 2026. Hi sweetheart, yesterday I went into town and met up with Harrison, we only have about an hour together but it is so nice seeing him. Apart from getting older he still hasn't changed. He is so polite and caring. He was saying that he remembers the big chess pieces that him and Lacey use to move about. On Sunday Carly came and we were watching the Bulgaria video and Archie was saying you can't do that in chess the way they were moving the pieces. Archie really knows the game well. Harrison is going to get in touch with Lacey to make arrangements for the three of us to go out. They sort it between themselves. He also told me that Tom Harvey's dad had died about three months ago. Don't know the cause but he thought it was natural causes. It is Christine's birthday today she will be 76. Still miss you sweetheart and love you so very much. My love always. Your loving wife xxx E xxx
