Burg der Frau Holle

Dear Mum, Isn’t this lovely, it’s just perfect country for wandering about in. We watched the fireworks last night from the balcony of the Prince’s sitting room (he doesn’t return from Berlin until tonight) and there were some marvellous rockets and some shot up little parachutes that floated a firework like a star which burned away keeping changing colour. They were lovely. My brown is beginning to wear away with having had very little sun for so long but today is warm and sunny and I think I can safely go down to the village without a coat and without the rain coming on again. I’m going now to collect my Reichsmarks from Berlin. The pc you forwarded was from Marion Martin so I sent her one the next day. I must send one to Ms Winchester [music teacher] and Ms Thompson too. Have I sent [???] [???] from home [???]
