[Continued from Tuesday 22nd September, 1964]

(7 a.m.)

Well we had a lovely day yesterday – the weather was perfect and we had no sand in the sandwiches at Burnham. Left here at 9:40 a.m. and arrived Burnham at 10:48 a.m. then a cup of tea at Fortes and looked around the shops to get the food for picnic etc. Left Burnham about 1.50 p.m. and at Highbridge turned left by the clock and ran through Mark to Wedmore thence via West Hay to Lyng thus reversing the actual run between Wedmore and Highbridge we did when you were with us. Found Don and Joan getting on very well and Don has been doing a bit of sewing (machine) and chopping wood for the winter. Not a lot at a time but taking things easy. He seems to have maintained the condition he was in when they came to Clevedon last week and is taking much more interest in things in general. Can only hope now he will get through the winter satisfactorily. Have made a tentative arrangement for them to run up to Clevedon again soon after we get back from number 84. So far this week we have had grand weather and it looks like another good day today. Shall have the morning laying more paving stones. No more this time so will close with all our love to you both and lots of kisses for the girls. Mum and Dad.

P.S. bought another bag of peat coming home at 4/- [£5 in 2024 money] this time – quite good.
