-. ARRIVAL IN ENGLAND
Dear Friends
Now what shall T tell you, -about
today? ;I • , said goodbye' a week
ago from• the Queen Elizabeth. We
docked • ' in Southampton and had
no trouble with . the ,Customs.' --
didn't
didn't even ' have ' to open . our
bags. It was a '.gorgeous day, the
first sunny day in two weeks we
were told.' In fact, there has bee
only: .one cloudy day • since we ar-
rived, Rather a record!
The • train trip to London was
very' pleasant. There were seven
adults- and two children ' in our
compartment and we had quite
an interesting conversation with.
one man. The countryside was
lovely, rolling land and the rail-
way cuts were very chalky. 'In
many places there were chalky
patches on the. • dark-
er soil also. We' saw sheep and
Holstein cattle pasturing in the.
fields and some spring crops 'be-
ginning to sprout. Cabbage and
Brussels Sprouts had • been out in
.the garden all winter and are still
being used - not 'frozen . as they
would have ' been at home. The
trees, and • hedges are beginningto
come out in leaf and everywhere
the grass is unbelievably green.
Spring has arrived in "England.
And flowers! The earliest flow
ering bulbs are : past but there
are• millions of daffodils under
the trees in the parks, in the, gar-
dens and in the window boxes, in
the stores in townsand. cities.
The facades of the buildings look
so gay and golden with the daf-
fies! Today T' noticed one store
which ' had filled theboxes with
what looked like primulas And
the flower sellers with'. their .box
es and barrows! There is • an old
flower -woman on the church steps.
across from : our. hotel who sold
me a boquet of 12 freesias for.
2 shillings and sixpence —, about
35c in our money.
We have spent Ourdaylight
hours in.; London riding the: buses

we have travelled miles and miles.

CARAVANING IN ENGLAND
Dear Friends—
Now what should. I tell you to-
day? 'Really there is only, one
thing that interests us at the mo-
ment Our Caravan. And to tell
you•what a caravan means in this
country, imagine 'an ordinary trail-
er (a home on wheels) withits
own.. motor, and" you have a fair
idea of a 'touring `caravan. We
are hoping to be jet age gypsies
for the • next few months, but I
can 'assure you, -we ' shall not be
breaking the sound barrier!
Our caravan is fairly large and
is called a Commer. • Highwayman.
One relation said he thought' it
was a .milk `van'. and- another
thought it was the ice cream man.'
So if • our resources get low, we
may start peddling dairy produce!
'I am sitting in .It: as I write and
quite pleased with what -I see.
It is a coach chassis, with ' , a
`pushed in front' as my nephews
used to • say years .:ago There are
two seats in, the frontwith the
motor under and • between them
(right hand drive, of course). A
foam rubber pad fits over the mo-
tor . and • seats . making a narrow
single bed in front. There . is a
single seat behind the .driver and
a double seat across from it. The
double:seat seat will' face forwards . or
sideways. mien' 'facing forwards,
a tricky. •little arrangement 'con-
verts those two seats into another,
single bed, and over them is a
hammock if, one . requires it. There
is. a ' large storage compartment,
over the - front seats which is very
handy..:
Behind the single seat there'. is.
a• 6' . long seat which converts in-'
to • a very comfortable ` double bed.
There 'is a door in the middle of
the back for easy access to .the
`living quarters.' There is a small
clothes closet in one back corner.
Opposite : the double bed is a sink
and drain board with a small
water tank high up in the clothes,
closet._ Under the sink • is a large
