Night night Uncle Sean. Very late going to bed (11 o'clock). Watching your dot with Auntie Donna. Tell the whale we said hello when you see him again. Is the whale bigger than a dinosaur? Had dinner in Daddy's pub and Paddy took his steak home in his pocket for tomorrow's dinner. Granny Marge disgraced us and took the scones for her breakfast in the morning. Love from Zoe & Ben xxx
