England up-date

Hello family. We miss you. We are back in Northumberland with John and Judith until the 26th, then on the Ann (Turner) and Ben Bennett's in Wickersley for the last 9 days. We had a great two days in Durham and at the birthday party at gibside, there is far too much to tell, so we will save it for when we get home. The whirlwind two days with Les and Molly at Town End farm in Brampton was also special. Sheffield U. vs Leeds was good. We will be seeing L&M again next week.

Everyone is giving us the royal treatment, especially J&J. dinner with them every night. We went on a day trip to the Northumberland Lake District on Thursday, with a little side-trip to Hadrian's Wall. All the towns are the names of Cumberland streets (except Allen). Yesterday to Holy Island. Football at Newcastle today (mother is going with Judith to Alnwick castle). Fish and chips tonight. Probably Edinburgh on Sunday or Monday. They won't let us open our wallets.

Please send more pictures of all the little girls and keep reminding them of Grandad and Grandma over and over again so that they don't forget who we are. We were very glad to hear that Katie is doing well and gaining weight.

Have to go. John needs the dial-up.

All Our Love

Grandma and Grandad
