Hi Duncan,
Thanks for last weekend. It was really great. The meal was fantastic – didn't know you could cook! Just kidding;-) Email me the recipe. I'd like to make cottage pie for my friends here - they're always starving hungry!
The journey was sooooooooooo long and boring – the coach stopped at a motorway service station where I had a disgusting cheese sandwich and a cold coffee.
I slept for the rest of the journey – not surprising really – we did dance ALL night! House Rules was a brilliant club, but going to bed at 4 and getting up at 8 to go back to Edinburgh was awful! You're a star for getting up early to take me to the coach station!
Everyone here is worried about the exams. They start next week, like yours. It was good to forget about them for the weekend! I miss you a lot. Come and visit me soon – it’s cheap on the coach.
Can't wait to see you again. Email me, or send a text.
Lots of love Sally
