October, 2007I have just found the receipt for the £300 that you so kindly gave us as a result of your season of open house and garden. Suffice it to say that we are truly grateful — all money is much needed. Thank you very much. I have already said how much we enjoyed our day out at Wavering Down and now the ‘final payout’ is the icing on the cake. It is good that we can share in your amazing efforts to provide entertainment and help for the younger members of the village — and benefit ourselves at the same time. I just hope that all your hard work is appreciated locally.

Re: Open Days at Wavering Down
We enjoyed ourselves and the people who came to look round Wavering Down all seemed to be very pleased to have seen Frankie’s home and memorabilia. We were very pleased to have the use of the village hall — it would have been much less pleasant out in the open with the weather as it was! Thank you for allowing us to share your home and for all the work you, yourself, did to entertain and inform visitors.
