Teaparty
Teaparty
Dear Billy—I must tell you about the other day in the holidays. Well, I and Bert and Maurice Cowlie and Mary and my brother went down to the barn which is down the road.
We were going to have a teaparty. I borrowed my sister's teaset. I was not meant to have it.
Anyway we had to have water.
I asked my mother for something more strong but she said I would have to be grown up like my father before I could drink tea so we had to pretend.
Anyway Bert said sudden I think someone is watching us we got frightened. I hugged Mary because 1 was frightened. Then suddenly a spider dropped down from the ceiling and made us run away. That was funny wasn't it.
My name is John Hales. 1 am 20.
I hope I get a certificate for this.
Love from John.
P.S.—I will soon be a pixie.
