I got the Owl and the Pussycat card in 1979. I told my mother I was going to keep it for the rest of my life.

To Annabel with all our love on your 4th birthday, from Mummy, Daddy, Harriet, Liz & Caro.

To Annabel with love and best wishes for a very happy Birthday. Father.
It was so lovely to see you: I hope that my surprise and nervousness did not appear as being unwelcoming.
I would so like to meet under more propitious circumstances. Maybe I could take you out to lunch in Cambridge or the Orford Oysterage.
