‘It was nice to see you all
on Sunday.
It was good of you to travel
across to see us when you spend
all week on the roads as it is.
We understand that, and are
grateful to you for taking us out
for that expensive lunch, but quite
honestly we would have been far
happier if you’d mowed our lawns
and done some odd jobs around
the house that we now find too
difficult to tackle.
I know you’ve said you’ll pay if we
get a gardener or odd job man, but
we like to be private and keep
ourselves to ourselves.
I hope you don’t mind me saying
this? Your Mother says I should
keep my big mouth shut and just
be glad you come at all.
I have to say that it’s silly for you
to waste all that money on food
we can’t eat though. They put so
much on your plate these days and
we’re not used to all that fancy food
anyway. We would much rather eat
home-made shepherds pie and trifle;
proper food, like you were all
brought up on’ .……….
