Dear Charlotte,

I’m writing to let you know that at last, we’ve moved to a bigger house! We just couldn’t go on living in the two-bedroom bungalow now that the twins are growing up and the new baby has arrived. So we started looking – and one thing led to another and finally, here we’re in our new home.

I’m sure you’ll like it. We have three bedrooms now and a very modern bathroom and kitchen. The kids are happy because there is more space with the big living room and the garden outside. But John is the happiest of all because he doesn’t need to do much decorating.

Why don’t you come round this weekend and see what you think of our new place? We would all love to see you. If the weather is favorable, we can even have a barbecue in the garden.

Our new address and phone number are below, so give us a call and let us know when to expect you.

With lots of love,

ABC…..
