These are some boys of the Hitler Youth Movement they were black velvet shorts and brown shirts and more or less correspond to our Scouts I think. We discovered on Monday that a new postman had put Sunday’s post in a letterbox that isn’t used now down at the gate so that was why there was no post on Sunday and two letters from Mum on Monday. There was a letter from Auntie yesterday and a Bulletin (with a photograph of H.H.Shepherd) [relative] from father yesterday. I hope Auntie has a very nice time at Carluke and Fife it will make a nice little holiday for her going to the two places. Today we’re being taken to visit a school of domestic science who’s head teacher is a friend of Frau von Kaneke’s and on Saturday I think Miss Dawkings [Jane] and I will go Wiemar with Best Love From Helen.

This is where we are today. We came by bus, then three hours from here to Flam[???] by steamer, and then by electric train. There are no film spools of any kind in Norway. They had quite nice knitted jackets up at Stalheim but we only stopped for 10mins. We still hoave Berger shops. Woolworths yahct a very posh affair was anchored along side our wee steamer. THanks for the letter and I hope you find us better now. Love to both Dorothy.

Hope all are well, Love from Mum.
We are doing a tour in a bus today and stopped here. Then on a steamer along two fjords; cup of tea at an hotel at Granium[?] at head of fjord and another on the way back at same hotel. Lunch on the steamer. This is one of the nicest islands [???], and we are having a very interesting holiday. We are wearing the washing frocks and the hotel and bedrooms have central heating, we can’t get childrens postcards.

The post brought a letter from Mum (with Abby’s enclosed) this morning and one from Rena. Abby’s is very funny and I’ll send it on later when I’ve answered it. I bought a funny little camera yesterday for 1.50 (1/-6) which takes pictures the size of a stamp and we’re amusing ourselves very much with it.

The above was written about a fortnight ago and not finished. We spent all yesterday in Rhottenburg, a very old little town further south and had a great day. This pm we’re down at our usual place on the riverside and George and I have swum across and back. It was lovely over on the other side and we lay and toasted ourselves on some newly cut hay. Tonight we have another concert in the schule Best love Helen.
