Well, I’m going to be 16 next month – I can’t believe it. I’m going to have a party at my parents’ house in London and I’ve invited everybody from our old class – I’d absolutely love it if you could come … Please say yes! I can’t remember if I told you last time we spoke, but I’d just come back from Spain. I was there with my parents. It was great, we did a tour of Andalusia in the south. It’s very, very beautiful but also incredibly hot – too hot if I’m honest. You told me that you were going away with your parents but you hadn’t booked it yet – where did you go and how was it? Can’t wait for your reply. Love, Nehir 117 Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
