Dear “Tom”

Curtain Shop

I am your other grandfather, the one you have never met. You are three years old, and although I have never met you, I love you dearly and always will. You are my flesh and blood, and always will be. We will meet one day, I am sure.

You know I'm writing a book about a house, a new house and a vcery unusual one that's being built near us. Well, all the people who have had something to do with building the house, the people who make the furniture, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the swimming pool and so on, as well as the builders themselves and the architects who drew up the plans, well, they are all going to be in the book with words and pictures to show what they have done.

So the man who is providing the curtains for the house - and there are going to be some very nice and very unusual curtains - he is going to be in the book as well. So today I went to see him. Not only did he show me round his shop with all its curtains and fabrics for making dresses and so on, he also showed me upstairs where he has a treasure trove of all kinds of cloth - silk, cotton and so on (I can't remember all the kinds of cloths, Nana Ann will do, she used to be a seamstress mamking dresses on so ). It's all very intresting, and you'll be able to read about it in the book.

If ever you can coem up and see us here in the North, I'll show you the house. And I'm sure I'll be able to take you inside and show you this fantastic house. It will have a swimming pool underneath!

Love from

Grandad Kit and Nana Ann
