Dear Bob,
I’m just writing to let you know our new address and to invite you to our house-warming party next Saturday. I’m sorry about the lack of warning, but we’ve been busy moving house and I’ve had little time for anything else. In any case, we only decided to hold the party last week when we found out that cost of moving was not as high as we thought and we had a little cash to spare.
We moved to here two days ago and we’ve been working non-stop ever since. This evening we decided to have a few hours’ rest, so I’m writing a few invitations to some friends.
You can do the trip from Bedford to Flinders in two hours now that the new motorway is open. Dew’s Parker is rather difficult to find though, because it’s a new housing estate and few people know where it is. Give us a ring when you are in the area and I’ll give detailed directions to you then. Our number is 56889590.
Barbara and I hope you can make it in spite of the short notice.
All the best
Charles
P.S. We can fix you up with a place to sleep – I guess you can put up with a mattress on the floor!
