Am looking for rooms - want at least four, can't find suitable place yet. Harder this year, London very busy. Do not worry, though, am scouring streets every day.
Excellent news, Waterhouse very keen to come in with me on the winding engines project - bring your finest dresses for entertaining, probably need two. The blue one would be best. Also, bring your jewel case - it is not safe to leave it at Blindingham all winter. The cook you have sent me is sour faced but capable.
Will write again soon.
