Dear Mum and Dad,

Thank you for the birthday presents sent with the girls, they will be most useful.  Pity you missed Liz after all that food she asked you for.  It was good of you to see them off.  It should be the last trip but one and next time only 3 of them as Caroline plans to go to Canada.  They are all bright and well.  They settle in so quickly it is difficult to believe they have only just go here.  Took them swimming this morning and then out to lunch.  It was a buffet arrangement so they had a variety and as much as they wanted so filled them up for a while at least.  The dog appeared to recognise them and is of course quite spoilt by them.  It was a fine morning but heavy rain later so they used the time for a big turn out of cupboards.  A good exercise, because there are lots of things no longer required and not worth packing.  Must start thinking what car to get and planning other odds & ends.  It is odd to think in different terms than just coming on leave and trying to guess what things will be like.

Cheerio for now and love
Margo and Peter
and the girls
