Dear Mum and Dad,

The children have gone and so has the dog - a very empty house.  Packing has started to-day and my relief has arrived.  Farewell instructions are accumulating and we feel we are really about to leave.  It will be a busy few weeks.  The girls' stay with us was one of the most successful and the time passed quickly.  They are good fun and as bright as ever.  They were very popular here and very nice things were said about them.  Elisabeth was asked to stay the night with a young couple in the bank flats and she was very thrilled.  Particularly as the other two had had nights out at friends houses.  They exchanged one at a time with twins and at times I was never sure who was with us and which not.  The dog was equally confused.  She - Pippa - should now be in kennels in Folkestone to complete 6 months quarantine.  

All for now, hope the exlections go the right way.

Love Margo & Peter
