Hi everyone!
Day 11 and I’m in Northumberland, just below Scotland. Today I’m visiting Bamburgh. It’s a lovely village on the coast. The real attraction in this place is a castle. It overlooks the sea and it’s absolutely stunning. There’s a huge sandy beach just below it – what a shame it’s freezing today! I went round the castle this morning. It was fascinating, but really crowded with tourists.
Yesterday I went to the island of Lindisfarne. You can walk over to it when the sea is out, but I had to leave before it came back in at 4 o’clock!
Tomorrow I’m going to Berwick. I’ve always wanted to see this place. I’ll be back home in one week. I hope the dreadful weather improves.

Did both people enjoy the film?
Hi Sam!
I saw Life of Pi with Amy yesterday. We chose this film because it
was the only new film in 3D. My dad recommended it.
It’s based on a book by Yann Martel about an Indian boy whose
family has a zoo. He ends up in a small boat in the middle of the
sea, with ... a tiger! The ending is strange ... but you should see it
yourself.
The special effects were amazing. The 3D was better than in most
films and they made the tiger look so real. Amy jumped once when
the tiger appeared suddenly, but she loved the film too. Everyone
I’ve spoken to thought it was great. So try and see it.
See you soon,
Jack

We’ve had BroadFast for two months – the ‘anytime’ package, costing £25 a month.
I’ve had lots of problems using it. The highest download speed I’ve reached is 18 Mbps, but only once – most of the time it’s been lower than that. I’ve often had problems connecting to the Internet and sometimes I’ve lost connection in the middle of downloading something.
I’m really fed up with the service. I think these broadband companies should stop advertising speeds of ‘up to’ and tell us what speed we’re really going to get. I also think people should get some money back every month if there have been connection problems.
Have you had the same problems with Broadfast? If so, what have they done about it?

Hi Robert!
How are you? I hope you and your family are well. I’m hoping we
can meet up in September – my family are in Scotland for the
Edinburgh Festival.
I was wondering if you could recommend somewhere not too
expensive to stay? You needn’t book it – we’ll book it on the
Internet. We’d prefer somewhere in Edinburgh, but if that’s not
possible, it will be OK because my dad is going to hire a car.
Also, can you give advice on how early we should book tickets for
festival events? Is it true that the programme isn’t decided until
six weeks before the festival?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Looking forward
to seeing you in the summer!
Love,
Hannah

Hi Andrew!
Have you heard about the vandalism at the local skate park? Apparently, the council were building a new ramp there and they’d left some tools in a lorry. It seems the vandals broke into the lorry and used the tools to smash all the other ramps.
The council want to close the park now because it will cost too much to repair. I’m really angry about this – it’s so unfair! Should all young people suffer because of the stupid behaviour of a few? The skate park is the only place to go around here. Without it, teenagers would get bored and cause more trouble.
What do you think about it? Would you be interested in organising a protest against it closing?

Thanks for inviting me to go and see a musical in London. Unfortunately, I’ve already seen Les Miserables, and I can’t make the Saturday you suggest anyway because I’m playing tennis then.
Have you seen The Lion King? I think it’s the best musical ever because it has such fantastic songs. I’ve also heard that the costumes and scenery are brilliant. Do you fancy coming to see it with me and my sister? We could meet before the show and do some shopping.
Could you make it on Monday, 3rd June? I hope we can meet then and perhaps have a meal in a nearby restaurant.
