Dear David,

 

May I wish you & your family a Merry Xmas & a pleasant New Year.

 

Time flies. I can hardly believe I have been in this flat for 9 yrs.

 

Apart from my accident I live a pretty placid existence. There comes a time in life when one has to slow down which I am certainly doing.

 

I love you David

 

Betty May.
