The Big Stores I went into one of the big London stores today and enjoyed myself very much walking from one department to another looking at various articles on the counters. I thought the shop assistants were very helpful. There were hundreds of salesman and dozens of different departments. I went from one department to another — from umbrella to gloves, up and down, in lifts and on escalators. I was surprised to meet an old friend of mine whom I hadn’t met for years. We talked a little and then did som e shopping together. I helped her to buy some presents for her children. I was so glad to meet her again after twelve years and invited her to come to our place on Sunday.

I feel very excited at the thought that in another week I will be with you again on holiday. I am enjoying my stay in England very much indeed. My teachers and my fellow students are all very nice to me, but as they say in England, "There is no place like home.”
I am leaving here early on Saturday, 24th, and so I will be at home somewhere about lunchtime. The train starts from Calais at 10-30 р.m.‚ so I think I will sleep on the train all through the night and by 5 o‘clock on Sunday I will have finished my train journey. The train arrives in Rome at 4.55 am. I will be very excited and when I see you at the platform, I think I will cry.
How are you all at home? I hope you are all keeping well. I can't say how much I want to see you all again. Can you meet me at the station, as l have a lot of luggage? Will Enrico and Marchello meet me? Or will the whole family be there? Saturday can't come too soon!
