Journal.Winter Weather.

Yesterday we had high winds, rain, hale and sunshine. Sometimes all together! Today the wind has dropped, morning rain showers and sunshine and the weather is getting progressively better. Temp today is 17C.

Journal. Letters.

Wrote and posted 2 letters today to David Bell, my cousin living in Ponteland near Newcastle-on-Tyne and Harry Douglas, retired Schoolmaster at Bromfield in Cumbria.

Ponteland is very much like a leafy NZ suburb

Bromfield village probably hasn't changed since my mother went to school there in 1912 to 1920 era. Visiting in 2003 I thought time must have stood still.
