there is a possibility that those letters may have been the best part of the relationship. my daughter had a danish one for a few years in her early teens. this girl spoke very good engligh and visited us when i lived in rugby. picked her up at heathrow airport and they had run out of conversation by the time i got home. was a long 5 days before she went back home trying to find things to do to keep her happy. the only thing she was interested in was my 1947 humber super snipe and going out in it. they never wrote to each other again after those few days.
