Dear Alan,

I hope you are well. I’m fine and the rest of the family is well too. As
you asked me about my summer holidays in your last letter, this is what we
did. We all went to Scotland and toured around in the car. We spent a
couple of days in Edinburgh (it didn’t stop raining once). We visited the
castle and went to the Military Tatoo one evening.
We then went north to Perth. Dad loved this part because we visited a
whisky distillery and saw it being made. We stayed there for 4 days. Luckily
it stopped raining and so one day we went walking in the hills around Ben
Nevis (Scotland’s highest mountain). We also went to Loch Ness, a very
famous lake, hoping to see the monster! We didn’t, of course, but we had
good fun trying!
Well, that’s what we did this year. Next year we are planning to go the
USA. I promise to send you a postcard when we are there!
Best wishes,
Jim
