  get parcels away. I looked at some

  toys for Kenneth but finally bought

  a wee dress in the hope that it

  would fit. I told Madame that he 

  was two & a giant for his years &

  she assured me that it would

  be sure to fit. We had tea at 4 pm

  although we were not supposed to be in

  a café at that time & dinner at 6 pm

  & the bus started back at 7:15. I got

  back to my billet about 11 pm

  having thoroughly enjoyed the change.

    To-day has been fine & warm & we have 
  

  been getting ready for moving as we

  go off tomorrow morning at 8 am.

  We shall have a good day's march & then

  a full day's rest before we go into the

  line. I'll do my best to let you have

  a line but as I shall have to go 

  forward to look over my piece of the

  line I shall not have much time & 

  there may be a gap of three days.

    There has been no mail for two
