To Dear Grandmother Charlotta,
I am writing to tell you about our holiday. The beach house is lovely.
I am sharing a double bed with Susanna. It is very high and I have to take a run up and leap to get on it.
I have two lamps on my bedside table. One of the lamps has a switch. The other one gets lighter the more you touch it. Susanna has one lamp on her bedside table.
My bedside table has a cupboard attached to it. Susanna has a a wardrobe on the other end of the room. We both share a desk and chair.
Susanna and I did some colouring in.
Mum decided that we should go for a walk down to the beach. The beach was huge with lots of sand.
When we got back we had dinner.
I love you so very much.
From a very loving granddaughter, Mary-Rose.
XXXXOOO
Dear Mary-Rose,
I like the sound of your bedroom. Can you climb on the bed properly yet?
Have you been in the water? I hope you bring lots of shells home.
Are you enjoying yourself?
I am missing you.
I hope the weather stays good.
Does your house have a garden?
I did some cooking today and made huge biscuits. (It is a new secret recipe.) They are very chocolaty.
Lots of love from Grandmother.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
Dear Grandmother Charlotta,
Yes, the house does have a garden. It is all mulch. Mum loves it. There are metal fishes hanging in the trees.
The biscuits sound yummy.
Yes, we did go in the water. Today we went down to the lake again and then to the park. It was fun.
We went home for morning tea and had hot chocolate with marshmallows and ate biscuits. We played some card games while we ate the biscuits (the biscuits that we ate I doubt are half as good as your biscuits.) Irene was on my team.
Dad helped us lower the seats on our bikes. Mum announced it was time for a bike ride. Mum, Susanna, Caroline and Irene sped along. Dad stayed behind and helped me. I am not very good at riding a bike and I kept riding into the gutter. I fell off the bike.
Mum took me to the beach and I made a huge sandcastle.
Love from Mary-Rose

Dear Mary-Rose,
Our cat Scratchy has had three kittens. We called one Rosie after you. The other two are boys and they are always fighting. Their names are Trouble and Hero.
Trouble is very fluffy. He is light brown with a slightly darker face. Hero is sleeker than Trouble and is mostly dark with light brown socks.
Rosie likes to sit on people. She has a darker brown tip of her tail and dark ears and socks.
I hope you are enjoying yourself,
Love from Grandmother
Dear Grandmother Charlotta,
Today Dad decided that we should have a look at the canoe that lives in the shed of the holiday house. Dad and Irene dragged the canoe all the way to the beach on its wheels. Caroline and Dad were the first people in the canoe. Dad is teaching her to row. When Irene came back from her rowing lesson she had a big smile on her face.
After Irene had finished her lesson Dad said he and Caroline could take a passenger along. I got to be the passenger. I had to put on a bright yellow life jacket.
Caroline and Dad are good rowers. It was very peaceful in the canoe. Suddenly we felt ourselves rock back and forth in the canoe. One second we were in the canoe and the next we plunged into the cold water. Dad got us out of the water and back into the canoe, and Irene and Susanna pulled us to shore. Irene swam out and found the paddle.
love from Mary-Rose

To my dear granddaughter,
It sounds like you are having a very exciting time.
Grandfather and I are wondering if you want Trouble. Trouble and Hero don't get on well at all. They are always fighting.
Rosie and Trouble are trying to eat King the budgie.
Today I planted a rose bush in the garden. It is going to have pink roses.
Grandfather and I hope you are coming home soon.
Love from Grandmother
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Dear Grandmother,
We are coming home tomorrow.
I asked Mum and Dad about having Trouble and after a lot of persuading, they agreed.
I love the sound of the rose bush.
Today we went to a flea market and I bought five dolls. Caroline bought a bracelet. We went to a shop where Susanna bought a little toy dog. Irene went back to the flea market and bought a bracelet like Caroline's.
I can't wait to be home.
Love from Mary-Rose
XXXOOOO
