(Jonathan playing the clarinet brought back
memories as he learnt to play with the Clarinet you
bought from me. Yvette has informed me that he
also plays the Saxaphone and Drums. One day you
you will have to bring Jonathan over to my studio
to try out the state of the art new electronic sax I
have which has 7 octave changes and touch sensitive keys).

Dear Molly & Jacob 

cc: David & Yvette May

Thank you for taking us around your wonderful school introducing us to your teachers and seeing all the various subjects you learn at school. Molly, we very much liked your Cookery classroom. I also enjoyed viewing the Carpentry room. I could do with a couple of DIY lessons as you know they call me Ben (Bob) the builder.

It was nice meeting up with your History classroom teacher. I remembered my school days where History was my weak subject. Could only remember naming the 5 continents. I could do with a couple of history lessons!! ha ha so such luck!!

(Molly here is a question for your history classmates - Tell them your grandad comes from a little island which begins with the last letter of the alphabet 'Z' - ask them to guess where in the world? (Not Zambabwe nor Zululand!!) You know the answer. Grandad comes from ZANZIBAR a beautiful spice island called Paradise Island which is  54 miles from North to South and 24 miles from East to West, on the East Coast of Africa now Tanzania E.A.)

We are very proud of you both and so happy to see how well you settled in your new school.

Love

Grandad and Grandma
