Dear Miss Marcia!
I am writing to thank you for such a warm neighbourly welcome into your quaint little settlement! I declare I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know y'all!!
I must also extend my thanks for the kind invite to tea in your side garden on Saturday! The menu sounds simply scrumptuous! However, I do have one little reservation! What are 'turnip greens primavera'? No offence intended, Miss, but - turnip greens are the part of the vegetable which 'we' throw out to our hogs!! However, cucumber and watercress sandwiches sound mighty tempting (I was so sorry to hear of Miss Cora's most unfortunate accident! And I do hope she remembered to wash her hands afterwards!!) and I can hardly wait for the Fu -uuudge!! As I write, I am catching the heady aroma drifting on the wind! (Either that or Cameron's cabin is on fire again!!)
May I enquire as to Dress code, Ma'am? I do hope we are talking 'Sunday-go-to-meeting' outfit and natty chapeau!! That little straw number of mine is just dying for an airing!! Latest style from London, dontcha know!!
Once again, may I say how honoured I am to be the guest at your little Saturday afternoon soiree? I shall trip across to the Downhome Kitchen with great anticipation! And I shall also look forward to it!!
With Kindest Regards,
Miss Katie (of Kate's Quilts. Just a little plug!).
