Dear Catherine,
One of many cherished memories I have of my beautiful sister is of her being, as always, my adventure pal and loving protector.
When I was very, very small we decided life at No. 9 Glebe Avenue just wasn't up to scratch. So we planned to 'run away!'.
Catherine helped me get dressed and she wrote a note for the family (on the back of our dad's precious map) explaining we'd 'gone off !'. I think we were planning to make our way at some local farm (Tess of the D'Urbervilles style).
We got just past the end of our road and realized we were hungry, thirsty, tired and (horror of horrors!) my dress was on back to front!!! There was only one thing to do MISSION ABORT!
We skulked back home, hid the map and said nothing. (But we knew we'd run away to a farm.)
Love you Catherine. Wishing you a lovely, lovely birthday. Wish we could be there.
Elizabeth, Grainger and Naomi xxx
