And Christmas was less than a month away. What exquisite joy to practice those beautiful carols, our hearts nearly burst with excitement and we could think of nothing else day or night. […] About two weeks before Christmas the postman would begin to arrive late, due to the overpowering mass of mail at Diss. It was our job morning and evening to run down to the village and meet the postman, in that way mother had her letters about three hours earlier than she would otherwise have done. He was one of the nicest people imaginable, and we could almost tell the time by his whistle as he cycled up the new road […] Through fair weather or foul he came always smiling, always whistling, at the stroke of 8am and 5pm. |
