Dear Sal,

You'll never guess where I am writing from. I am sitting in the garden of a hotel overlooking Lake Windermere. It's so good to get away. We have been staying here for nearly a week now. Every morning I get up at 7 o'clock and go for a swim in the lake before breakfast. Since we arrived, we have done a lot of sightseeing but we have not visited the castle yet. We have been watching the boats coming and going all morning, and the owner of the hotel has just suggested that we take a boat trip this afternoon. There is a boat that is leaving at 2 o'clock that we can take to cross the lake to Wray Castle - it sounds like fun.

We are travelling to Scotland this weekend to visit relatives and then we are returning to London next week. What have you been doing in Devon since you got there? Email me soon and tell me your news.

Mary.

Dear Mary,

It sounds like you are having a wonderful time at Lake Windermere! I am sure the views are absolutely stunning. As for me, I have been enjoying my time in Devon. I have been exploring the beautiful countryside, taking long walks along the coast, and visiting some charming villages. The weather has been surprisingly good, so I have been able to spend a lot of time outdoors.

I have also been trying out some local restaurants and trying different dishes. It's been a great way to experience the local culture and cuisine. I have not had the chance to visit any castles yet, but I am planning to do so before I leave.

I am looking forward to our trip to Scotland this weekend. It will be nice to catch up with relatives and explore a new place. I will make sure to email you with all the details of my adventures in Devon and Scotland.

Take care and enjoy the rest of your time at Lake Windermere!

Best, Sal
