Since then we (2) ... several times to organize the flat and find schools for the children. We've had to borrow some furniture from friends and relatives as the flat we (3) ... turned out to be unfurnished Sally says that it is all our own fault. We should have checked the details more carefully! I thought it (4) ... good value for money! It was difficult to make the decision to come home as we (5) ... abroad for so long. I think we are going to find it strange to settle down here again. I haven't started looking for a job yet as I (6) ... busy. I (7) ... you a call to arrange a night when you can come to dinner and we can discuss old times! Looking forward to seeing you again.

Best wishes, Stephen
