John's Postcards to Aunt Mimi
And her comments!


From John in Japan: "Mimi: Are up in mountains, really very nice. Love John, Yoko and Sean."

Aunt Mimi: "You'd think he could have written a bit more than that, wouldn't you?"

From John in Japan: "Mimi: Still up in mountains. Here is the number in case you wanna givus a call. Love Da-da, mom-ma and Sean-chan."

Aunt Mimi: "That really is typical of him. He gives me some telephone number in the middle of the Japanese mountains, I don't know where, and expects me to call him. I don't know what time it will be there, whether he'll be in or anything. If he wants to talk to me, he can jolly well call me!"


Aunt Mimi from 1979: "He rings up and announces, 'Hi, it's Father Christmas here.' He's the same old jokey John. He really seems much more settled and happy now than he used to be. He'll be doing something, just you wait and see, something that will surprise everyone. I only hope he doesn't go pouncing on stage anymore. He's nearly 40 now and if he went back on stage he'd be doing exactly what he was doing at 19. You must go on. When he phones now he wants to talk about Sean about when he was a little boy himself. When he phoned the other night, he was talking about the time I wrapped him in a blanket because it was cold and I brought him downstairs. He can't have been more than five then. He just amazes me with the things he remembers."
