since they arr greatly to de mand a letter as on its wu monda morning but i rcallv felt it a too lat when tuesday arrived everthlng vms going our way sun shining off dut in good time nnd on our way by 130 wearing our uniform suits carry ing raincoat and a small bag oa we were travelling light thli time as ue walked alone our pretty peaceful country we felt ery happy yes we had tvprthlng especially the im portant things ration cards and our travelling warrant with each leave a free travelling ticket is usued which is in my mind wonderful and i appreciate it very much what a surprise ue had when it started to rain when we were just half way to the bus oh thu engllah weather axrlvina in lundon at waterloo station we noted the time just about 1 pjn nevrr had we been away on leave tn such good time before imme diately we took the underground to eastln station travelling light meant m taxi was not necessary which b really a time saver as there is alwayn cuch a queue for taxis our first stop tn eustln station was at the berth accomodations when enquiring first about a berth either 1st or 3rd class the answer was no we hod vi rions of sitting up all night then in cautious voice i mentioned the let ter hoping u had arrived yes it had arrived and there was a 1st class berth reserved for us the cost is d each bout 1350 each and felt it was worth that and left with our tickets feeling happy as we never expected to have a first cioar ivlnce rumour has h ehst the hlrh army officials are often travelling and naturally they are given first consideration after check ing our bags tea was enjoyed in a small tee shop along tottenham oourt rd and then a walk arriving back at the station about 6 so shortly after seven we were tn our compartment with upper and lower berth wash basin with hot and cold running water and many little shelves bare and there to put things on somewhat different to oura at hornet but those ore used only aa ifteepera not corwertlble ilka oura for daytime ubs a
