Last night...

Hi Holly,

I wanted to tell you about your sister today... I saw Katie last night and we were chatting about you and agreeing how much we missed you. We were at the Marlborough Theatre in Brighton watching Pip performing in 'Sketch Machine' - a very funny new show that she's in.

As I hope you know by now, Pip is an actress and she has developed quite a knack for comedy over the last few years - when I met her, it was all fire-eating roles!! She even taught me to fire eat and we did an act together, fire-eating whilst she was balanced upside down on my back, which we did for a show at the Gardner Centre at Sussex University in 2000 - I have the video if you want to see Dad the fire-eater one day!!

Anyway, back to Katie.. She is just finishing her degree at Brighton Uni, and will be graduating in July. She then hopes to get a job in marketing and earn her first million before she's 30... She's got a really nice boyfriend called Ian, and she is moving in with him when she finishes Uni. She's very pretty and seems to have her life fairly well planned out - job, career, marry Ian in about 3 years, have babies - that's it in a nutshell I think, but we both agreed that you should be part of all this.

We're going to Florida in the summer, me, Pip, Katie Ian and Michael - it would have been nice if you could have come too - we've hired a house near Orlando, so we'll be doing the Theme Parks no doubt... - a final family holiday before hols with the boyfriend/girlfriend take over I expect... wish you were here...

Love as always... Dad xx
