to come. Do you remember Gran, Anu’s grandmother? Gran need be eighty now. Do you remember the
small pleasant garden in Gran’s house where we could spend the evenings playing? And the small deserted
cottage behind the public library which many said was haunted?
It can be fun if we should have a get-together when Anu visits. Why didn’t you come over? We might plan
something really good. We shall invite Riya as well, although I’m not sure if she can be too willing to come.
It may be fun meeting after such a long time.
Do let me know if you should come.
Yours
