Hi Mike,
I’m having a great time here in Scotland. We arrived
two days ago. The train journey was a bit boring
because it was more than six hours! We saw a great
comedy show last night and we are going to see
a circus tonight. The weather’s fantastic. Scottish
people say it often rains in Edinburgh in August, but it’s
dry and sunny. I’m going to wear my summer clothes!
Tomorrow we’re going to explore Aviemore. It’s in the
mountains, so I think it’s going to be cold there. We’re
going there for two days. If the weather is good,
we can reach the top tomorrow afternoon. I must
remember to take my jumper and my gloves. If it rains, 3 In 40 – 60 words, write a postcard.
we will go to an arts museum near here.
Follow these steps.
I’m going to take lots of photos, I promise!
