Stoneleigh Tuesday
Darling - your letter only arrived this morning which was a long time since the last one, & I have been feeling rather miserable & abandoned with only two letter in ten days. But it is difficult writing letters nowadays - there is nothing very cheerful to write about, & certainly nothing ever happens here.
I stayed Saturday night with Graham after all: this being at Mr Mather's house - up the Wirrall. It was quite pleasant really & nice to get away from here again. The old boy now has three sons in the forces - the eldest, Jock, in the anti-aircraft - Gordon in the 7th Cheshire - & Doug in the Navy. In the case of Doug - they do not even know what part of the world he is in, though of course, they hear from him.
I do think it would be a good idea if you went to the seaside for the summer months & did some work. I think I said before, that you should

get away from your family & not just stay there, & with nothing to look foward to at all. and the combination of the seaside, some decent weather, hard work, & a few decent people to talk to & have drinks with - should surely help to make you happier again. And I cannot help saying again, darling - that I hope we will be looking forward to another baby by then. It made me think a lot last week end - Graham with his two children - & old Mather who had lost his wife, but had five children to give him a happy old age.
But does it have to be Cornwall? This is so far from here. It would take 2-3 days of my leave in travelling - & week ends would be expensive journys & only a very short time together.
The Welsh coast is about as near to London as cornwall - & so much nearer to here. Have a look at the map, darling.
