Happy Valley Campsite,Rhondda,Wales.12th AprilDear Dave,

Im writing to you from our campsite in Wales. Were hereon a school trip and Im having a great time. Theres alwayssomething to do. The campsite is good. Its got a shop, acaf and a swimming pool. The weather is wet and windy, but it doesnt matter. We gosomewhere different every day. We go on foot or by bike.In the evening we play table tennis or we go to town by buswith one of the teachers. Theres sometimes a disco at thecampsite, but its not brilliant, and it finishes at 9.30.The only problem here is Mary! Im sharing a tent with her,but she hates camping. She doesnt sleep at night and shegets up at six oclock in the morning, when Im sleeping.She doesnt like anyone here and she doesnt want to doanything. Aargh!

Someones calling me - its lunchtime.How are things with you? Write soon.Love,Linda
