Dear Auntie Helga, May I first add my thanks and congratulations for the way you have taken over and continued Susan's valuable work. I have enjoyed the issues you have produced for us particularly the picture that Jane sent in of the 19 year old boy being presented by his mother in that lovely dress. She looked so pleased with the result and it is certainly one I will keep in my personal collection 
Although my maid work has lately been restricted lately by my wife not being too well (she is a lot better now) I was able to attend the Muir Academy's 20th anniversary event as one of the maids. Due to my previous experience with a similar machine one of my main tasks was the washing up for the 40 guests plus other duties. It was 4 days of really hard work with three meals and two tea breaks a day but very enjoyable and I was, with the other maids, awarded a feather duster, a certificate and a medallion. I don't know if you are aware of the Muir but in case not it is organised by Miss Prim and runs schools for adult pupils. For boys and girls of both sexes with real lessons and exams. Miss Prim also trains maids and I have some certificates from her. I am attaching a picture of me in my kitchen maid's uniform beside the industrial dishwasher we were able to use. Thank you once again Maid Angela Angela, this is just what I love to see, a man in his pretty uniform ready to do women's work. Keep it up and don't forget to curtsey. Auntie Helga |
