Dear Mum and Dad,
We have been reading about the power cuts very closely and hope you had some alternative heating. It is amazing that with nuclear power and natural gas that we still need coal. Candles and oil stoves are still important. Alan's move could have been difficult because of the coal strike but hope it was not too bad. We have not see the Queen but by all accounts the visit has been a great success with the former colony putting on a display of festivity and welcome. We did see the Britannia close to, steaming down the Straits on her way to Bangkok. She looked very smart. Adrienne has been ill with pneumonia, quite a bad do as she did not respond to the first antibiotic used but the headmistress wrote to say she was recovering well. Funny she followed Susan with it and guess it is a virus. Susan has been booked to spend Easter in Holland with her friend. She is very thrilled about it and I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything works as planned.
At last the office has slackened off, mainly due to the the Chinese New Year period. I shall be taking over my new job in about a month's time and it will all start up again. The computer is getting easier to deal with but we are still learning. It was quiet an experience to put it mildly. We received Henry's Christmas present and will be glad if you will thank him pending our letter. I also read the pamphlet on the door sealing with interest. Bye for now and keep warm.
Love Margo and Peter
