Ethel loves Fred shared the sweetest letter on her blog that she wrote to her Grandparents in 1974, and it reminded me of the one I wrote to my Grandparents on the aeroplane as we travelled back from Australia to return to live in England, also in 1974.

'Bittersweet' thought I, through the unexpected tears.

That is so sweet! It reminded me that I reminded myself to ring you this morning. Then I remembered that you are at college on Thursdays. Hope I remember to remind myself tomorrow. I want to hear all about the fair and the 'shameless' camping trip! xxx
