To Mum and Dad
Dear mum and dad
Thank you for the teddy that speaks with your voice. I snuggle with it every night, even cry sometimes with it. We finally got to Metroberg, a small village but lots of people live there.It is quite different than London from how many people have pets there.
When we got there we sat by the roadside waiting to get chosen by one of the families. It felt like it was not my lucky day because someone’s kid really wanted me to be his sister but his parents said no. I’m staying with Miss Honey in a little cottage. I need to make sure I do all my chores, help Miss Honey plant food in her garden and get clean water from the river next to my new house now. The house is nice but there is an attic and it is locked. Whenever I ask a question about it, she says there is nothing in there but I hear noises all night long. She is really nice and has a soft and calm voice
I have a little room in the basement but there is not a view. Miss Honey just added a fake picture because she does know I love to look outside. I read some of the books that you send me for like 1 or 2 hours then I need to go downstairs for dinner. My favorite food is the handmade jacket potato from her hand made garden which she does not make a lot of because the seeds only come 1 or 2 times a month. People don’t use cars that much, they mostly use bikes or scooters to help the environment be a better place
I go to a small school down the hill and I always bring my stuffed teddy making sure I remember you. But Miss Honey said not to bring it in because one of the teachers does not allow me to bring it but I still do it anyway. Miss Honey packs me a shepherd’s pie which I alway love. The boys and girls at the school have chicken and dragon fruit. The boys like to play football and who can snap the biggest stick that can be found. The girls play jump rope and hopscotch.
| The other children are nice and friendly. They helped me find my new classes. I know mostly everyone there. All my new friends taught me new games like marbles and jacks.
I miss you Mum, Dad and my little brother Bob. If you can send him here Miss Honey and I will look after little Bob. Love, Ella-may |
