Scope and content
Has just finished re-reading "The Parting Years". Enjoyed it even more than he did the first time. He was wrong about Juliet Duff, though. Reminisces about the war years. Did not know that Beaton nearly died in a plane accident the day before he drove him to Government House. The house he and Binkie had together was burned down in April. Thanks Beaton again for the pleasure his book gave him. Hopes Beaton can read this as he has very terrible arthritis in his hand.
