Enjoy!

Dear Willy,

Sorry for not writing earlier but I’ve been studying very hard for my English exam. Thank God I passed it!

I’m writing to thank you for letting me stay with you and your family last Christmas. It was such a wonderful week that now it’s hard for me to go back to the routine!

London is a gorgeous city but I know that a week is not enough time to discover all that it has to offer. The sightseeing tour was fantastic and I really loved ‘Mamma mia!’, the musical. I miss the long hours we spent having some tea with your grandmother while she was telling us old stories. I’m sure my English is better now thanks to her!

For the last two months I’ve been making a lot of arrangements and I think I’ll be able to move to my new house next weekend. I’m really looking forward to showing it to you!

That’s all for now. I must start my homework for my English class. The teacher wants us to write an informal letter to a friend and I don’t even know how to begin! Please write soon and tell me all your news.

Give my love to your family.

Best wishes.

Lola

PS I enclose the photo I took of you and Kate in the Stamford Bridge stadium.

    What a silly cow is this Lola!
    I didn't realise she was talking about the english royal family until I saw the "Willy's" picture!
    She is so funny as she looks!

    She's funny indeed, Ruth. No doubt about that. When I saw the photo and read the letter, I laughed so much...
