Dear Francesca and Liam,

It’s the start of your first week of holidays today, Francesca. What about you, Liam? Are you still at nursery? We’d so like to know about your lives at the moment but can only guess.

Today I’m making a real effort to finish my paper for Italy although I’ve just spent half an hour or so adding a bit to my novel. I have to write it when the ideas come, you know. What about you, what are you doing today?

Whatever you do, have a nice time, we’ll be thinking about you, as always,
Bye for now, my dears,
Love, Grandma and Grandad xxxx
