To Marie & Vincent's reception.
SUMMARY OF 1944
Mabel's accident in January, and 'Peter Pan' were the dominating features of my year.
Other notable events included:
- We had cards from Aunt Lily, Topper's sister and mother, Margaret Smith and Mrs. Brown (all in UK).
- But no news of Topper, Arthur or Sid ((our Army boyfriends)).
- We were driven to the conclusion that we were NOT going to be repatriated.
- Food got worse, not much light, little water, no meat, some fish mainly whitebait.
- Invasion of Euope started in June, and by early autumn we were expecting European war to end, and sweepstakes thereon were rampant.
- Wrote 'The Last Meeting' , 'The Princess Who Wasn't' – not performed; poem A Child's Christmas, and started to write Balancing Jean which is unfinished.
