Dear Emma,
Thank you for your letter. It was good to hear from you. I’m glad you had a good holiday. We went to Scotland in August and had a lovely time. First we went to the Edinbourgh Festival and saw some very interesting shows. Then we went camping in the Highlands. It was fantastic but the weather wasn’t very good. We went for some long walks and we went swimming in the lakes but the water was freezing.
At the moment I’m doing a lot of work for school. It’s really difficult at the end of the holidays but I’ve got a lot to do before school starts next week. We’ve got a new Maths teacher this year. He’s very strict and gives a lot of homework. I don’t think I’ll do very well in Maths this year!
I’m really looking forward to seeing you again. Why don’t you come to Southhampton for a weekend? I’m having a party on September 5th and it would be lovely to see you. I bought some Madonna records during the holidays and I’m sure youwill like them. Try and come. Ring me and let me know.
Give my love to your parents and Jim.
See you soon, I hope.
Love,
Mary
