Hi Val,

Terry’s washing up in the kitchen __so___I thought I’d write a quick email.
How are you and John getting on in France? Is the guest house business going well? 
Terry and I were thinking of coming to see you in December __in spite of__ the bad weather. We bought
warm coats and winter clothes __because__I know it can be very cold where you are at Christmas time.
_however_.we are having problems with our car and I don’t think we can drive from Spain to France and
over the Pyrenees _while_ it’s giving us so many problems.
Thank you for the recipe you sent me for apple crumble. I don’t know _if_it’s a good idea to make it
_because_Terry’s getting so fat, bless him. You’re such a great cook, _but__your recipes have got so
many calories!
I must go now. I think I’ll make Terry a salad again _while_ he’s watching the football on TV. We’ve got
such an exciting life!

Miss you. Love to John.

Kisses,

     Steph X
