May Tangen Christmas Letters, 1975-1982

1975-07-23 Postcard and letter from May Tangen to Mr. and Mrs. John Stanley Page 2

Lynton, England
7-23-75
Dear friends, don't give up on me, I will write you but at unorthodox times.
Christmas is usually impossilble, I'm getting slower and slower.
But no - my time for leaving England is coming faster and faster - I have two days left now, meaning to go home July 26.
I've been here since May 12, here, including Norway too. I've seen Kew Gardens in lilac times, seen London in detail, gone to north Norway to see see the midnight sun, crossed over the Peer Gynt country, and spent all of June enjoying springtime in the land of my grandparents and other assorted ancestors, which is Feiring in Lake Mjôsa. A beautiful experience - I tried to appreciate to the fullest my good relatives, the lovely scenary, the sweet hospitality, and the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the church building and the midsummer night on the point of Tanger, the peninsula after which were named. They even asked me to consider coming to Norway to live, but I told them I couldn´t.

Saving...
