Transcription of Letter
Sunday April 5th 81
My dear Son,
I hope this is the "thing" you want. Have
only just got up 10 am — disgusting. Judy & Phil took
Mrs Moore
& myself out to dinner last night, to a new place called "The Toby Inn". It was lovely. I had prawn
cocktail, chicken breast,
peas, chips, salad, white wine, sherry, merangue nest with raspberries & cream, coffee i/c cream & am now 3 lbs
heavier.!! but it was
lovely. The combination of all these made me feel good & sleepy. They said it was a thank you to us both & a
combined birthday treat,
Ada has a birthday today, she's 58.
It's grey, cold & bleak, most depressing. I shall be glad when
Jean returns, I do miss her. Dad has gone his constitutional, I'm
glad to have an hour
on my own. He's been fiddling with the T.V again & seems to have got his lines crossed!
See you soon, love.
Take care
As always.
Love
Mum
