Good morning beautiful Topsy. I have only just realised that I have not written to little you for eight days little girl, I am so sorry, I thought that I was writing to you after I had finished on here to Charlie. I know that it is no excuse little girl, but even after nine months and fifteen days, I just cannot get used to writing to poor Molly. I wanted to go and visit my poor Mum seven days ago little girl, but I just could not manage it, it was bad enough walking all that way four mornings ago. I had not walked that way for eighteen mornings, so that blasted rail-crossing had a big woolly surprise waiting for me when I got there. Just as I was walking up to the crossing, off went the blasted alarm, down came the gates, and then not one, not two, not even three nasty old scary, filthy, grinning odd trains came trundling through, but four of the blasted things. When I was finally allowed to cross, I staggered off up the road, and finally, about an hour later, got to see my poor Mum. I was so pleased to see her, and she was me, I was even offered a mug of tea, which would have been nice, if there had not been a stain where someone else had used the mug for coffee. I did not buy a newspaper, as I had so much to talk to my poor Mum about, I did not bother buying one the next day, or yesterday either. Of course, the time went quickly each day, and although I left at different times, I still got caught at that crossing… two more pigging trains the first afternoon. I have seen and fed that big black a white cat, the tiny black and white cat, and that tiny white and black cat almost let me stroke her, but ran away… I have not seen Thomas now for three weeks. I am sorry that this is short little girl, I choked on some ice-cream last evening, and forgot to write down notes, and last night I wrote to Jenny, I almost forgot to do that. Everything should be back to normal soon little girl. I love you so much Topsy, I do love you little girl, and I do miss you, I miss you so much, you beautiful, brave, beloved little girl. XxX
