Dear Mother and Father.
I feel very excited at the thought that in another week I will be with you again on holiday. I am enjoying my stay in England very much indeed. My teachers and my fellow students are all very nice to me, but as they say in England, "There is no place like home.”
I am leaving here early on Saturday, 24th, and so I will be at home somewhere about lunchtime. The train starts from Calais at 10-30 р.m.‚ so I think I will sleep on the train all through the night and by 5 o‘clock on Sunday I will have finished my train journey. The train arrives in Rome at 4.55 am. I will be very excited and when I see you at the platform, I think I will cry.
How are you all at home? I hope you are all keeping well. I can't say how much I want to see you all again. Can you meet me at the station, as l have a lot of luggage? Will Enrico and Marchello meet me? Or will the whole family be there? Saturday can't come too soon!
Love and all good wishes,
Sophia
