"Grange - Tues. We are still having a good time - seeing a lot but being awfully lazy. How would you like a journey on this railway? It's a deal little engine. We went on it & the heaven's opened & the floods descended on us & nearly drowned us. We still have our return tickets having hired a car to take us back to the nearest proper station!! Hope you have had a good holiday. Love to your Mother & to you from us both Mabel”
