A picture postcard written by Christopher to his parents from Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia congratulating them on their retirement

Dear Mummy & Daddy,

Many happy returns to you both on your respective birthdays. I believe you will be sixty seven years old and you have both had very full lives and have seen many parts of the world too.

I hope now you have both retired you will be able to do all you want to do and that whatever expectations you have remaining, you will see in coming years without discomfort.

With love,
from Christopher
