Ok, so it’s this time of year again… another anniversary unfortunately.

I went back to our house in France over Easter and it reminded me of all our childhood activities…. skinny dipping in the pool (dare I say it), trampolining and all those ‘late’ nights. Well, 10pm was late when we were about 8! I am never going to forget all of that, truly brilliant. I mean, every summer I knew what we would do and I love all that. I also, strangely enough, saw one of those wendy houses that you used to have at a car boot sale the other day, and it reminded me so much of tea and cakes with our teddy bears! In fact, when we went in France we went with your family as we counted it as our annual holiday to France as everyone is so busy this summer.

I also can’t believe how much we’ve missed doing together – I had to go through puberty without you (well the world and his wife know how much of a pain I have been through that) and all the other things I have seen other friends do with their best friends – deciding their gap years together, buying graduation dresses and all that jazz. But you were there with me throughout all of that, mentally if not physically. Still, I had you in mind. You’d be pleased to know that I am spending my gap year doing things I love – I have 2 jobs now, tutoring History to a girl who is also called Chloe and working at a performing arts company as a teacher. Yes, me as a teacher! That is all in Norfolk/Cambridge so I am living with a lovely family at the moment near Norwich. They are all so lovely to me! I will also be going to be a chalet girl in January until the end of the season and then back at the performing arts company or travelling around a bit. We will see! I will be doing my 7th yea! r of panto this Christmas too, hopefully in London again or I’d be happy somewhere else. I had lots of auditions and follow ups so I find out about that soon!

When I was last at home, Mummy and I went to see your parents and brother. They’re all doing well, missing you of course, and they’re doing their annual trip to Spain. It’s no longer La Manga, but still the same country.

I am so busy right now, I just can’t wait for a time when I can visit you and tell you everything that is bothering me, that I’m anxious about and that I want to tell you!

With all my love,
Charlotte.
