 Hotel Touring au Lac. Neuchatel, Switzerland - 28.3.1958

Dear Pennie,

     I am going to Susy's school this afternoon to help her pack, and  then we both fly back to London tomorrow.  Susy is going to a dance at night, so the school allowed her to come to Neuchatel this morning and have her hair done.  It looks jolly good too.  Next card you get will be from Italy.

    Lots of love, Nan

Dear Tim,

     You look just like Cookie with your crew cut.  Susy and I have just had our hair cut and the man used a cut-throat razor instead of scissors!  But he made a fine job of it.

     Lots of love, G.A.N.

Dear Mer,

     I am just going to have my lunch and as I am very hungry I shall eat a lot.  Last night when I arrived here I found a beautiful blue ashtray in my room.  It was a present from the Hotel, weren't they kind.

   Lots of love, Nan.

Hotel Touring au Lac today from Google Maps.  Aunty Cranky stayed here every time she came to Neuchatel to visit Sue at her school, no wonder the Hotel gave her an ashtray, she was a heavy smoker.

Dear Rosemary,

      This is only a short note to say 'Howdy'.  Please give my love to the 'small fry' and also to Rip.  This is another adventure of the 'hat'.  'see far right in this photo'.  It is in Neuchatel by the Lake wall the first time we arrived here.  I didn't know I'd got them in till I got the picture printed.  Well there's no news except that I return to school tonight (no laughing please!!)  Write soon.

     Tons of love to all.  Tons and tons of love XXXXXXXX  Susie-Anna.

Dear Pennie,

     We have just returned from a walk by the lake where the white swans swim in amongst all the boats.  They don't seem at all worried with speed boats dashing around them.  We left London yesterday, by train to Folkestone, then a boat across the Channel to Calais, another train to Paris, where we changed into yet another train and arrived here at 7a.m. this morning.  You will be able to find all the places on the map.

     Lots of love, Nan.

Dear Merry,

     We slept last night on a bed in a train.  I t was fun.  It was the longest train I have ever seen, with a huge engine, but the whistle is just a silly little squeak.

      Lots of love, Nan.

Dear Pennie,

     We went to see Susie's school this afternoon.  It has lots of very old buildings, the head master seems very nice and so does his wife.  Tell Mummy I feel quite happy about leaving Susy there.  They even have lots of cows but not like this one.

     love, Nan.

Dear Timmy,

     This is a very nice place.  We love the traffic policeman.  They have long white batons which they point to where they want you to go.  How is Pee-wee? * When I come home I'll try to make her into a poodle.

     Lots of love, Nan.
* Pee-wee was a lovely dog we owned but she was baited by someone and died before Cranky could turn her into a poodle?  I have no idea why she thought that, she never owned a poodle.

Dear Merry,

     What do you think of this for a swing?   We are having a very good time, but it is very cold.  Lots of snow.  We bought a loaf of bread this morning and fed dozens of white swans on the lake in front of our hotel.

     Love, Nan.
