TIS IS SUCH A LONG WINTER MY LOVE. I CAN'T WAIT FR THE SUN TO REAPPEAR. I HAVE A LOVELY SPANISH MAN IN MY LIFE OW. AT THE END OF THIS MONTH WE WILL HAVE BEEN TOGETHER NINE MONTHS. YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MY SPANISH HAS IMPROVED. WE ALSO HAVE TWO DOGS. ONE WE FOUND ON THE ROAD TO GEBAS LAST WEEK. HE WAS UNCLAIMED SO WE KEPT HIM. I HAD FORGOTTEN HOW FULFILLING IT IS TO HAVE A DOG EVEN IF THE GARDEN IS TAKING A BIT OF A HAMMERING I HOPE YOU ARE WATCHING ME MY LOVE.I MISS YOU SO MUCH BUT TRYING SO HARD TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE AND I THINK I AM SUCCEEDING. GOD BLESS YOU MY DARLING.
