1.As in the Elizabeth Gaskin novel, people view things differently. The mill owners believe they cannot pay higher wages, because of competition from America. The Americans are undercutting the British prices. The workers need higher wages to survive and believe the Mill Owners are harsh and lack understanding. The Unions have been formed and insist all should belong, otherwise any man not joining will be excluded.
2. And tales from the Cottage, now the deeds of variation have been signed, the rats are abandonning the sinking ship. The detached house next to ours is up for sale. By all accounts the Landlord has bought it. No. 63, and 64 have gone. Perhaps sold who knows. The couple used to spend all their week-ends and holidays there. Watch this space to see what happens next.
3. My return on Sunday is 12 noon at Gatwick South from Podgorica via Monte airlines.
4. The Italian is going well, and I am pleased to report that I am getting some enjoyment from it.
