Darling Honks

Yes I know I’ve been DREAD re letters. I fear you’re right-it is this shooting, you see one is whacked ½ the time, fearfully over excited for a good deal more, on the road for the rest, plus trying vaguely to see to things here, viz. the 5 new rooms being decorated & furnished, 4 new Shetlands (not much decorated but very sweet) coming this A.M. from the bonny land, the W.I. annual meeting, 12 souls coming for the weekend, Mrs Canning saying she can’t (or can) get herrings, the housemaid giving notice because I graciously allowed the under ditto to go to Mass (so it’s ½ a day’s work to get her to eat out of the hand again), plus thinking of excuses when incredibly kind & incredibly dull people ask us to dinner in London, plus seeing to Sophy all last week because Eliz doesn’t come back till 22nd. Honks I know none of this Holds Water, sorry.

There is one thing I CAN’T BEAR, & that is you being in London when I’m not, oh DEAR it is so sad & so annoying, the days you say are impossible, shooting here 10th & 11th which means people arriving 9th. HONKS, the sands are running out & of course we shall soon be dead, all the lot of us, meanwhile we never meet while we are alive & vaguely hale. Bother bother bother.

Much love, Debo
