A holiday destination to remember
How are things going? I’m really pleased that you’re coming to stay with me
in Cornwall. I have received your arrival details and I will pick you up from
Bristol airport next Monday.
I have lots of ideas about what we can do together. We will spend the first
night at my cousin’s place in Bristol, which is a really cool, multi-ethnic
city. It has lots of places to visit, such as museums and a really amazing
bridge. Look at the attachment I have sent of the bridge. I also have
another suggestion. What about going camping? I need to know if you are
interested, as I will have to get a tent for us.
When we get down to Cornwall, do you want to stay in my parents’ house,
where you will have your own room or stay with me and sleep on the
sofa-bed? We can spend the week going to lots of interesting places. I was
wondering if you could stay a second week, as that would give us time to do
more.
I’m looking forward to you being here soon.
Best wishes
