This is a pretty country centre, and will be a nice place during the summer weather. The change will be most beneficial to me, as my jaw is scarcely strong enough yet to chew hard biscuits. The food here is exceptionally good considering every-everything. Of course sugar, butter and other things are scarce, but we get a good supply of vegetables.
