Dear Elizabeth

I haven’t heard from you so I’m just checking if you received the book I sent you? I hope it has’nt got lost in the post. I was careful to wrap it properley in enough paper and string. I sent it by airmail which cost most of my pocket money I had been saving but I wanted you to get it quickly. Please let me know if you have or have not received it because I am worried. I am probably being inpatient though. I excpect you are enjoying reading it and have’nt had time to write to thank me. That will be it. I bought these new notelets with my pocket money, the kitten is the cutest picture so that’s the one I have chosen for you. I do’nt like the shiny pink background much and Meg says it makes her feel a bit sick it is so horrible but the kitten is sweet. My mum is still at her job. Aunty Lucia said she thought she would give it up. It would be too much for her she said but she has’nt given it up and she told me and Meg that she loves going out to work. One day she will take us to work with her so we can see what she does. This is going to be a long letter because I’m a bit bored. I took a blankit and a pillow into our den and I read all morning. I read a book called A Stitch in Time by Penelope Lively that I got from the book club at school. Do you have a book club? We get a magazine to take home and we get our mums and dads or our aunts to fill in the order once we dicided what book we want and we take it back into school and the school orders all the books and they get sent a few weeks later. It is so exciting and one of the small ammount of things I like at school. The book is handed to you with the order form your aunt filled in stuck to it with a lastic band so Miss Tyson knows who ordered which book. Anyway I started to read mine today and its very good a ghost story set at the seaside and a girl called Maria hears a dog barking although there is no dog and a swing swinging although there is no swing and I want to finish it soon but I had to stop reading for our lunch. Lunch was marmite sandwichs and an apple and a plum from the garden. Aunty Lucia let us eat in our den. The den is nice and cool. I think you said once you have orange trees in your garden? I wondered about that and before school broke up I asked my teacher why we have’nt got orange trees and she said that we can’t grow oranges in England because it is too cold.
