I do believe them to be better. Being out of the spotlight has done them well and this fog has done wonders to make the public forget all about our family drama - though that will change as soon as the trial is held. I actually haven't yet been to Wales with them but to see them safely there.
While the fog has distracted the masses it has me as well. Work has kept me day and night even though we haven't found a thing. It might leave me tired, but it is better than what I'd be doing without.
While it might cause undue boredom, it is better be safe in this fog. We've had too many accidents reported and I'd rather not come into work tomorrow and hear of your death as well. If you'd like anything, do feel free to write to me to ask. As I am in London, I can fetch it and have it brought to you. I can send books from our collection as well and if you enjoy reading, you might enjoy writing? Maybe you could take to writing short stories or a long one as well. Or you could sketch faces and places and compare them when the fog withdraws to test your memory?
