Dear Grandma,
Hello from Cornwall! We are on holiday in a small village by the sea. The weather is sunny and warm.
Every morning, we walk to the beach. The sand is soft and the water is very cold! My dad surfs and my mum reads a book. I build sandcastles with my brother.
In the afternoon, we eat pasties and ice cream. The seagulls are very naughty. They want our food!
Our cottage is lovely. It has a blue door and a little garden. See you next week!
Lots of love, Tom
