Dear Gran,
Ruth and I were expelled from the house today by Brendan, who wanted some time to work on his thesis. Luckily there was an Anderson family swarm happening up the road for us to go to. Marg, Jan, Paul, Sean, and Sandra were at the farm--- not to mention Sam, Jack and Preston, much to Ruth's delight.
We had a lovely time--- Ruth saw cows, caterpillars, an alpaca, and a sheep, and also helped Jan and Marg load their car up with firewood (we will blame her twig if their suspension breaks on the trip back). Sandra made sausage rolls for lunch and there was leftover plum pudding, made to Hugh's recipe.
Much love,
Julie.
