Congratulations on becoming a Great Aunt Pat.

Children just love books and I must have bought dozens over the years for my lot. They are now as adults prolific readers so I really feel I got that bit right!

Delighted that we are reading this book. I have already read it but look forward to it again. It is truly wonderful and so moving.

I was watching Kate Winslett on TV last night. She is starring in the film adaptation of The Reader and is tipped for an Oscar. Cant wait to see it when it is released.

I hope you all have a great Christmas and I look forward to seeing you on the 7th Jan. I take it we are at your place Pat.

Best wishes,

Elizabeth
