Today was always one of the bittersweet days for Penelope, July 12th.
Also known as her birthday.
Her birthday was always one of the busiest days of the year in her life, presents, two annoying, teasing brothers, an over-enthusiastic Dad and lots of relatives and another reminder of a birthday without her mother. The smallest piece of quiet before everyone awoke was much appreciated by the youngest Murphy:
Mr. George Harrison,
12 Arnold Grove,
Liverpool L15 8HP
Dear George,
Thank you for your letter it made me closer to you as per usual, well done you're not an absolute twat you sent it to the right address!
I'm alright! Everything's been quite hectic since I've returned, lots of over-excited family members visiting etcetera so I haven't really had the time to settle in to be honest but that's expected.
"That famous band!" Has had so many different names thanks to Mr. Lennon so I'm not surprised that's what Liverpudlians refer you all as! I wish I could of just always been invisible but unfortunately as a Murphy you become known from the day you're born; what makes it worse is being the only girl and looking a lot like my mother!
Thank the boys for their messages! They made me laugh and smile as always,
To John,
I'm absolutely fine thanks Lemon, missing all of you as always!
To Paul,
I'm not sure yet to be honest, it's always a possibility! I'd pay to see him sulk actually (joking!).
To Ritchie,
I'd love to come up around new year as my Christmas schedule is packed and holidays are the only time you get off college unfortunately!
I miss you boys!
I absolutely adored the album! (Anna, Go To Him is absolutely stunning and has such a loving feel to it). I was so shocked when I found the song, words can't even come to describe how much I truly love it. I'd love a signed copy! How's Mr. Epstein dealing with all of you? Has he not murdered you yet? Tell him the secret is lots of Vodka!
Muswell Hill is the same as how it's always been, boring, cliché but home. Competition??? Maybe... One of my friends has offered to show me around the local netball grounds and dinner. Have I any Competition?
Gail and Margie are fine as per usual.
All my love(ing!),
Penelope R x

"Penny are you coming down?" A voice called before she groaned fixing her dressing gown into place,
She walked into the kitchen with a fake sleepy drowse,
"Hello Runt!" Ernest greeted his youngest sibling before bringing her into a playful tackle,
"Let go..." The teen drawled in a I-seriously-can't-be-bothered tone,
"Awww, you too tired to escape?" He teased,
"I could knock you out with a single punch." She thought smugly.
"Oh leave her alone Ernest!" Theo scolded,
