I have been really looking forward to seeing you both & was amazed that the date I suggested actually found you in the country! Anyway, I had a marvellous time & I think that Nigel Dempster has nothing on us, going on our conversation during lunch!! Take care & this comes with a huge heartfelt thank you.” In fine condition, with a small red happy face stamp on the second page showing through to the front.
