Cousin Hydra

Wotcher, Hydra!

We read the notice in the Prophet, Mr Ponds and I, that school's let out for the long vacation. We're hoping you might drop in for a visit, if you've the time free.

Bring your friends as well, if you'd like: we've a new tea you could all try, a special hybrid Assam, grown right here in the Protectorate out in Cornwall at the Avalon project. Have you heard of it? It's a brilliant magical preserve and herbological experiment to see if they can't reproduce different growing conditions from all around the globe. They mean to grow a bit of every sort of thing there eventually. Ginger, and safron, and tamarind and other things that haven't ever been grown here. Plus coffee and tea. That's a proper use of magic, now, isn't it?

Anywiz, we'd love to see you. Bea can tell you all about her birthday and show you how terribly tall she's grown.

We hope you're well.

Sincerely,
Dora and Junius

Dear cousin Dora and Mr Ponds,

I'll have to check with Mummy and Daddy, but of course I would be very pleased to visit. I will let you know what my parents say. Say hello to Bea for me.

From,
cousin Hydra

This feels a little strange. Writing twice in two ways, I mean.

Well, hello. We haven't really had a chance to write properly this new way, have we?
