  seeking to find signs of growth in my onion bed and their

  rows of beetroot, turnips & carrots, beans, short rows

  of course, which are jealously guarded and zealously

  watered - what proper crops will be reaped time will

  show! but hope looms very big, and anticipation is some

  reward for the outlay of a few pence anyhow. 

  I guess you also if the same weather is with you, feel

  the fag of the bright sunshine without any shade, and we

  are wondering if the bivi is capable of doing duty as 

  protection when a leisure moment comes whilst the sun

  is hot. Anyhow it's better, far better, than cold & wet, which 

  gives one the blues and chaps ones fingers etc. I've not got

  rid of mine altogether, I've had some very painful ones this

  week which I put down to cleaning out the cistern & putting

  a bit of paint into a crack in the roof guttering 

  and using some strong hudsons soap to get my hands clean

  again, which stuff always seems to harden up my skin.

  Are yours all healed up yet and the "septic heel" which

  by the way you really did not reveal to us but came through

  Frank Barton. I felt a bit jealous when I read his

  letter which you sent home which revealed more than

  you had told to us. Dear boy, don't hide anything from

  us! We would rather share it with you by entering

  into all your experiences - by the way have you discovered

  if you are anywhere near Willie Hammond. Frank
