Dear Francis,
How are you? I’ve got a lot of news for you. Things have changed quite a lot since I last
wrote to you. I’ve got married, and now I live with my husband. We’ve moved to a different
part of London and we now live in Kensington area. Our house is small and beautiful and it
has a very pretty garden. We live near Hyde Park, it is huge and beautiful. It is always full
of people doing exercise so I’ve started jogging. I go to the park every day and I feel much
healthier now.
I’ve found a new job. I am working as a teacher in a kindergarten near home. I am enjoying
working with children very much although it is very tiring to keep their attention. Guess
what? I’ve adopted two kittens, they were found in the street and I decided to take them
home with me. They are called Cupcake and Truffle. Sometimes I take my kittens with me
to class. Children love them! My husband didn’t like cats at all but he has learnt to love
them and now he enjoys watching them playing in the snow in the garden. I´m sending you
a photo. They´re cute, aren´t they?
Here are some photos of my class with the kittens. It would be nice to hear from you.
Best wishes
Hilary
