FSP-Patterns

Dear Joan,

Me, I’m sitting here at my desk writing to you. What’s outside my window is a big lawn surrounded by trees and it’s a flower bed that’s in the middle of the lawn. When it was full of daffodils and tulips was in the spring. Here you’d love it. It’s you who must come and stay sometime; what we’ve got is plenty of room.

Love, Sally

As you will no doubt have been told, we have our own photographic club and darkroom. The club is called ´Monomanor´ and there is an annual fee of £5. The money goes towards replacing any equipment worn out by use, or purchasing new equipment. Monomanor runs an annual competition with prizes, judging being done and prizes awarded at the garden party in the summer term. Besides the competition, we also have talks and/or film shows during the other terms.
