Dear Kitty,
            I'm not having as much fun here as I'd hoped I would. Sure, Paris is cool and all - but I just don't feel right. I'm still really homesick (rare for me) and I just feel uncomfortable all the time - like I'm always doing something wrong but I don't know what. Etienne's cute (sometimes - he certainly wasn't yesterday), but the rest of the family just doesn't seem to like me that much.
            Plus it's the whole 'family-environment' thing. School's different - I don't get homesick there because I'm only in a home-type environment at Freya's or something. But here, they're so cute and close-knit and happy, and it makes me want to go home so much. I don't even know when I'm next going to see Mum and Dad, let alone any of my friends or Alex, and it makes me feel so lonely. Julia's in England, and I've only met one other au pair - and that was quite awkward and I think she thought I was weird (not surprising).
            Ignore me, Kitty - I'm tired (there have been builders in my room and I'm not sleeping well).
But right now, I want to go home, to Saxmundham - and I know I can't ever do that again.
Most of all, I just want Mum and Dad.
Yours,
      Frano
P.S on the bright side, I finally got a message from Alex today.
