QUEENIE

HEY HEY, WE HAD A LOVELY TIME OVER THE WEEKEND. WE STAYED FOR A WEEKEND BREAK AT THE SWINDON MARRIOTT HOTEL. YUP, SWINDON. THE TOWN IS ECH, BUT THE HOTEL WAS FAB. WE HAD A BLAST IN THE SWIMMING POOL WITH THE KIDS. IT WAS LIKE HAVING OUR OWN SWIMMING POOL (INDOORS AND HEATED). SPENT SOME TIME IN THE STEAM ROOM AND THE SAUNA. IT DOES WONDERS FOR THE SKIN. THAN ON MY 21ST BIRTHDAY (HA HA-DREAMING........), WHICH WAS THE 19TH OF NOVEMBER WE TOOK A NICE DRIVE TO QUEENIE JOHNS (ENTWISTLE). WE BOUGHT HER THE USUAL FLOWERS AND CAKES AS I WOULD TAKE TO MY OWN MUM. SHE IS STILL FANTASTIC. SHE'S GOING TO BE 85 ON THE 29TH OF NOVEMBER AND SHE LOOKS AMAZING. SHE HAS A GREAT MEMORY AND REMEMBERS ALL THE WHO FANS SHE HAS MEET OVER THE YEARS. BY NAME THAT IS, TOO! QUEENIE FINALLY GOT TO MEET OUR KIDS AND SHE HAD A FONDNESS FOR OUR JOSHUA JOHN ALEC- WONDER WHY? WE SPOKE ABOUT JOHN AND THE DREADFUL PASSING INTO THE NEXT WORLD. WE TOLD HER ABOUT THE GUILT WE HAD ABOUT BEING WITH JOHN AND HOW WE DIDN'T GO AND TELL ANYONE ABOUT HOW HE LOOKED AND HOW HE WAS ACTING. WHAT'S THE SENSE ABOUT TALKING ABOUT- AS PETE SAYS G-D HAD BETTER PLANS FOR HIM! WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT. WE SPOKE ABOUT THE NEW SOLO ALBUM BY PETE FEATURING ROGER. AND HOW ROGER SPOKE ABOUT JOHN IN THE LINER NOTES. WE STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NO ONE FROM THE WHO CAMP KEEPS IN TOUCH WITH QUEENIE. WHAT A SHAMBLE. NOT EVEN A CARD..........
