Dear Duncan,
Thank you for your lovely postcard. I really liked the picture on it, but your
granny didn’t. She doesn’t like monsters!
How funny! I visited Loch Ness when I was your age. I went with my dad
– your great-grandfather! We looked for Nessie, too. We went on a boat
around the lake with a fisherman, but nothing happened. We noticed
something moving in the water far away. We went closer, but there wasn’t
anything. We laughed – perhaps it was a big fish.
Yes, we had a great time at the weekend. We visited your mum and dad on
Sunday – they miss you a lot! We watched TV and had lunch in the garden.
We talked about you all the time.
See you next Friday!
Love,
Grandad Gerry
