There was a Benedict wine on sale inside the monastery grounds, probably made by the priests themselves and I was very much tempted to get some to bring home ([???]) but thought it wouldn’t be improved by all the travelling it would have to do before then. Most of the Americans bought it and referred to it always as ‘liquor’ quite seriously and it was rather funny. We had a perfect y’day and today has been very enjoyable altho’ we had about an hour and half’s torrential rain while we were on the open raft with no shelter whatsoever beyond our coats. However, the sun made up for lost timeafter that and everything in the garden was lovely.

Dear All, I’m sorry it has been a day that you wouldn’t get a letter - about two days ago, as when I came in last night I found that a letter I had posted I think on Friday night had been returned to me as insufficiently stamped (I knew that already but had thought you could just pay the excess rather than that and should wait until the next day and get more stamps). The stamps I had on already had been cancelled and I have to take it to a special po to get properly stamped and haven’t had the opportunity yet with being away all day today and didn’t get it last night until after 11. This is a Benedictine monastary which we visited yesterday and saw part of. It has a beautiful situation situation up in the Alps. Much Love from Helen.
