Last summer holidays Kate and her brother, Philip, were in Cornwall. They travelled by train and they
stayed in a campsite for a week. It was great fun, but they missed their parents and their friends a lot.

Read Kates letter.

Dear Ruth,

Were back home! We arrived yesterday.

Philip and I had a great time. We stayed at a really pretty campsite*,
near Helston in Cornwall. The place was beautiful. There was a bay*
with dolphins. The water was so clear! Everything was so calm, so
clean! There werent any traffic jams, pollution well, we could breathe
pure air and just relax.
On Philips birthday there was a little party in the campsite with some
other tourists. There werent many of us, but it was great fun: we
cooked, we played the guitar, we danced and, finally, we washed the
dishes and we cleaned the place all around. It was a different birthday
party, indeed
See you soon.
Lots of love,
Kate
