After our walk in the mountains we called down to see Bev and Gary. Bev has her dad staying with her at the moment and he was outside enjoying the sun. It was nice to see them. We haven’t seen them for such a long time, we all seem to have such busy lives. How did any of us manage to have a ‘job’ as well?!
We heard from Torin in the evening and he has fallen in love with South Africa. Coincidently he is staying in a place called Margate and Ramsgate is just a short distance away. Obviously where a lot of Brits landed! He keeps on about the white sand, blue sea and he said it is the best food anywhere in the world he has been and he has been to quite a lot of places. I think he was making Mal very envious talking of the huge juicy succulent steaks. In fact Torin said if he didn’t have the twins he would move there tomorrow! Mal now wants to save our pennies and go there for a holiday!! It was one of my dads favourite places (visited on the way back from the war) and he always promised to take my mum there when they retired. Sadly he only had 6 weeks of retirement and then passed away, so they never managed it. I hope Mal and I will be luckier.
In the evening we watched the last two episodes of Downton Abbey. It has been a good series. My sister’s friends daughter in law to be plays Anna, the ladies maid in it.
