Yesterday (14 August) was the anniversary of my Taid - my maternal grandfather, dying. We sorted out his house and his papers soon after he died but we were moving house at the time so a lot of his things - particularly copies of his letters, ended up in tea chests and box files.
My parents are on holiday at the moment, so I visited their place yesterday to pick up the post and check everything was OK. I spent the morning eating the food they'd left in their cupboards and freezer, but in the afternoon went rooting around in some drawers.
I dragged out a box file full of my Taid's letters. I'm reading them all, but thought they might be of interest here! This is one of the first ones I found. Not quite sure what is going on here but that's why I've stayed up all night rooting through the boxes!
