If I am lucky I will spend Xmas with Betty. she is with Ruth Frethewie just outside London Won't that be grand. I am next to go on our leave list which means that I go some time next week for ten days.

Everything is quiet around here so far and I hope that it stays so, because we are hardly ever in the mud now all the horses are in the farmers old
