Mon dieu!
Dearest Mother, We are perplexed by your paragraphs of French speak ..... we have little time to spend on the computer and Betty's translatory skills are not at the speed of a UN translator. We love receiving your comments, but can they be in English from now on!? You are very clever! Thanks and I love you, x Kate
