Hi John,
How are things going there? We’re all fine and my mum sends her love. We’re so pleased you’ll be able to over for New Year’s Eve! We can’t wait you again! Dad is going to buy fireworks and we’ve arranged a meal in mum’s favourite restaurant.
At the moment we’re enjoying a few days off work. The real reason is that we need shopping but I think we need first! It’s been such a busy month at work and I don’t want tired at Christmas. We’re also hoping Aunt Anne next week before we go back to work, but it depends if there is snow or not. It’s quite difficult to get to her house when there is snow or ice! Usually she persuades until Spring, when the weather has improved. She says she will us soon, but I’ve waited for the last 10 years and she’s still never seen our new house! Yes, I know she intends , and I’m sure one day she will!
Oh, let us know when your flight arrives and I'll collect you from the airport. We will try right outside the terminal so you don’t have to walk too far. Also, mum wanted if you would consider another week or two…she’d like you to some friends and it would be better if we have more time. We also thought about Sandra to dinner one evening too, its been years since she's seen you!
Okay, bye for now. Speak to you soon.
Have a great Christmas and see you on the 31st!
