Liebe M
Es ist herbstlich geworden, obwohl heute ein herrlicher Tag war. Erstmals ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Blätter angefangen haben sich zu verfärben. Alas, es ist wieder Zeit für mehr Kerzenlicht, für Käsefondue, Suppenfleisch und Marroni (die ersten 100 g habe ich schon gekauft!). Unsere Familienangehörigen sind in den Süden verreist. [...]
Wie geht es dir? Bist du mit Leib und Seele in Schottland angekommen?? Vor ein paar Tagen habe ich mit grossem Vergnügen deinen Blog gelesen und so einen Eindruck von deinem neuen Leben gewonnen. Deine atmosphärischen Schilderungen und wunderbaren Fotos präsentieren fast greifbare Eindrücke für deine Fans! Ich bin sicher, dass es mir in deiner neuen Heimat gefallen würde! Ganz grossartig ist die Insel Kerrera (welch ein Internetauftritt!).
Ich hoffe, dass ich dich einmal in Oban besuchen kann und du mich dorthin mitnimmst!
[...]
Ich bin gespannt auf deinen nächsten Blog-Eintrag! Da ich mich mit Blogs nicht auskenne, hier noch eine Frage: schreibt man als Leserin nur kleine Kommentare in einen Blog? So wie einen Eintrag in ein Gästebuch?
Falls du einen Ausschnitt dieses Email in deinen Blog setzen willst, be my guest, auch wenn du ihn noch bearbeiten willst.
Alles Liebe!
A.B.
Liebe A.B., liebe Alle
