Giving directions

Dear Jim,
I’m very pleased to hear that you have
decided to come here for the holiday. I’m
writing to tell you how to get to my house
from Roston Railway Station.
Now, when you come out of the station, turn
right. Keep walking for about 5 minutes, you
will see a small bridge ahead. Go over the
bridge, walk past a medical centre, then take
the first turning on the left. Keep on until you
come to the end of the road, turn right. Walk
past a small shop. Mine is the second after
the shop, opposite the bookshop. It is the one
with the green gate. You can not miss it. I

have enclosed a map so that you can follow
my directions easily.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love,
Ann
