It was during one of my first

Domestic Science lessons

That Mrs Penfold-Harris

Clearly told the class

That salt and sugar do not mix

They have never mixed

And any attempt to mix

Salt and Sugar

Would end in tears

Josephine

Thank you so much for your memory

I have arranged for this to be printed

In the next WI magazine

(I will also send you a copy for Sephine)

Jennifer Penfold-Harris was one of my greatest friends

It was such a pity that her husband was imprisoned

Because of his common sense views


Tell Joe not to be a stranger and keep him out of trouble

The recent piece in The Guardian was so hostile to him

He walks a thin line and one must remember

What happened to Desmond


I am looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday

Do have a safe journey

I will meet you in the station cafe as normal
