Suki settles in and sleeps much of the day in a variety of locations. We visit the Postal Museum in London and squeeze into the train that used to convey mailbags around under London. Our friend Martin and his twin sister Sheila exhibited furniture and painting in Petersfield - we bought a coffee table. Liz had an operation at Queen Alexandra's Hospital in Portsmouth and ended up spending several days there and a lot of time recovering at home. |

| Arnold Machin produced this iconic plaster cast of H M Queen Elizabeth II. The design was first used on the 4d which was first issued in June 1967. This original is in the Postal Museum |
And of course there were lots of Penny Blacks - the world's first modern postage stamp. |

| September was not a good month for Liz - she had an operation at QA Hospital and was in quite a lot of pain and discomfort. But she kept up a cheerful outlook! | At home Liz had to take it very easy for a few weeks | |
