13th July 2025. Well love at the moment I am at Fold House for three nights. So nice to be back. It is nice to be away. We went for our meal last night but Steve or Riley didn't go. Simon was the class clown as usual. Think some of it may have come from his God Father, Derek. Poor Helen but she is probably use to it by now. He always makes people laugh and Carly and Dale loved all the banter from him. Love and miss you my sweet. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

12th July 2025. Hi darling, as you will know I am 80 today. Can you remember 10 years ago when I was 70 and we went over to Rochdale. What an amazing day that was. We have lost Derek, Margaret and Jean. And of course you. Christine is now in a home near Claire so in effect I have lost her as well as her memory is so bad now. I suppose I am fortunate to have lived so long but I miss you so much my love. All the family are going for a meal tonight. I have booked at The Air Balloon. I did invite Norah as well but she not been well recently and she says
8 pm is too late for her to eat. I do hope that everything will be OK as both Dale and Steve are going. Love you my sweetheart. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

I miss you so much my sweetheart, not a day has gone by since you left me that I have not shed a tear for you. Missing you always. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

20th June 2025. Hi love, I forgot to tell you it was Rileys' birthday yesterday. He became a teenager, can you remember we were in Bulgaria when Simon let us know he had been born. The weather has been really hot today but sounds as if it may break tomorrow. Simon could really do with a few good weekends and take some decent money. Love you my sweetheart. Miss you so much.

17th June 2025. Hi sweetheart, this morning Simon, Helen, Rosie and myself all had a run out to Fold House to see the caravan they have bought. Simon took his deposit over and some paperwork they needed to see. I cannot believe how nice it is for what they paid. I thought it was absolutely beautiful, and it looks to be in such good condition. Helen has started buying already, bedding etc. I do hope they will have all the wonderful times there that we had. I am left with some wonderful memories, can you remember how we would snuggle up in bed in a morning with our books and hearing the rain on the roof of the caravan. Love you my beautiful husband. Your loving wife. xxx E xxx

We gave him 80 dollars, a small bread board with a picture of his cat on and I have transferred him £50 over into his bank account this morning. We had a lovely meal at the shovels last night and it was really nice and hot. Miss you sweetheart. Your loving wife xxx E xxx
