Hi Frances,

How are you? I have been so busy since I moved to London! And everything seems so different here. I like it but I still feel quite nervous! London is so busy and everyone is rushing around all the time. I am always getting lost! And it’s cold! It is getting colder and colder each day!

My lectures at the university start next Tuesday! I can’t wait! As you know I have been staying with Aunty Jo since I arrived in London and she has helped me so much already. I am really enjoying spending time with her! We often chat for a while in the afternoon. I have been looking for a flat of my own since I got here but I haven’t found one yet! As soon as I get one, you must come and stay!

Write back soon.

Lots of love,
Fiona
