Hi Artur
Well, we’re still enjoying our trip to England. We’re staying in a great city – but someone (1) told us that there was going to be a festival here yesterday! Perhaps we (2) realised something was happening, because a lot of the hotels were full. The festival was great! According to the local paper, this (3) been the biggest crowd they’d ever had.

Mind you, some of the people (6) been very comfortable as some of the costumes looked really hot! I bought you a souvenir. I’ll see you in a couple of weeks.
