France Surrenders 23 Jun 1940

France surrendered yesterday.  We still do not know what has happened to our cousin.  He wasn't at Dunkirk and is probably still in France.

We are hoping that the blackberries will ripen soon so we can make some jam.  Nobody uses that much sugar but Ted, Bill and Maggie do like jam on their toast and the ration really doesn't go that far.

No eggs for us this week but the children all got one, so we made a sponge pudding with 2 of them.  Very extravagant!
