Grandpa and Grandma Grandma was delighted to get your telephone call on her 80th and also for the thoughtful card you left behind for her. Your Dad and Mum acting as wonderful host and hostess for a little party given at their home for Grandma and her friends. All the family had also a super night out at a Bistro in Beverley - supermeal and good company. Your smiling face was the only down side to the evening .Gabrielle in her new (second hand) BMW acted as our driver but forgot to wear her chauffeur's cap. We both look forward to gettimg your up date news on your travels - sounds you are having a super time. I don't think the waves are high enough in the Humber for your surving when you return. We are having a new block paving done for our drive at the end of the month ready for your return. Apart for this shattering piece of news all is well at No 9. Love from Oggs and Grandma XXXXXX
