Dear Sue,
Thanks for your email! How are you? As for me, I’m looking forward to a fabulous family weekend.
My brothers are going to be here on Saturday morning. Mum and Dad have some errands to run in the morning, so they are going to come sometime before noon. We are going to have lunch together at a restaurant. In the afternoon, we are going to visit the art gallery because mum wants to see the paintings there. In the evening, we are going to enjoy a performance at the local theatre. On Sunday morning we are going to go shopping, then have a picnic in Sherwood Forest before everyone heads back home in the afternoon.
Well, I think that’s about it. How are you going to spend your weekends? Write soon.
Love,
Jane
