NAN'S LETTER.

Thursday 25th February 2010.

On Monday when we went over to the house in Manilva we also picked up the post, which had got wet in our post box on the wall outside, one letter was an Airletter from our very dear friend Nan Horsley,Jane from Chester mom, who we have known since before we were married over 40 years ago; it took us some time to dry out the letter and then open it along the three slits to find that much to our surprise Nan who last year had over nine eye operations and reaches the grand old age of 88 this year is still able to write in her lovely and distinctive way such a nice letter, her personality shines through and her sence of humor has not diminished over the years. It is also a miracle that she is able to write on the very thin Airletter paper any way; hearing from Nan brings back a lot of very happy memories when I went to work for her late husband Burt as resident assistant manager at the Bridge Inn in Port Sunlight on the Wirral,where I met Brenda ! Port Sunlight has featured in our lives ever since over the years, we got married in the church, Fred Mellor, our best man who was a Port Sunlight boy, funeral took place there and sadly the last time we were there was for the funeral of his dear wife Carol, our very dear friend, who died back in 2008.In more happy times we have been to weddings of friends over the years as their children grew up; in the letter Nan says that she still bumps into Curly the Dutch chef from the Bridge in the supermarket!
