My Dear Mike - Monday June 1970

Thanks a lot for your nice letters. Am on holiday at the moment, so am able to sit down and pen you a few lines. Hope you are well and happy. Will be sending you some birthday money this week but don't know what I should do! Shall I send a registered envelope? I don't suppose you saw me on T.V. yesterday at Sunday cricket, I went to Ilford with Iris and Sid, to see Lancashire play Essex, and it was televised, and father saw us in the crowd, how thrilling !! Am not going anywhere special for my holidays. Father never wants to go anywhere, so just get the house in order a bit and keep Bugs and Seep company while everybody is at work. Might go down to Surrey to see Auntie Doodie. When will you be coming home? Will have to have a sort out of bedrooms when you do, and put you and John our big one, and there is not a great deal of room in that box room. J. next door has her "lover" living there now, is getting divorced from his wife. "M" has been in hospital to have a throat operation. Little T is working now ( if you can imagine it, he comes home all dirty in his dungerees). DC is still courting strong, very much in love. Our John goes to Yorkshire for a week in July with his school on a Geography trip. Dee still likes her job. Barbara's still going around with her boyfriend. Iris is getting wed on the 2nd of July to Sidney Lewis ( I'll get her married off yet) Tony and Chris are having a weeks holiday down in Doodies caravan near Southampton. They have both got long bobbed hair. Tony had a long dago moustache but has shaved it off I'm glad to say. Our Ginger John could do with a hair cut but refuses. He is full of freckles! Hope you are getting the same nice weather as we are, and are making the most of it. Will be writing again in a couple of days. For now take care. Lots of love. From Mum xxxx
