Here is the whole story with its spaces, punctuation and capitalisation as appropriate.
I needed to start, if letters were needed, writing invitations to my garden party. The weather was very cold. There was frost, icy roads, and a freezing wind. I donned a cap and jacket to keep warm. With Robbo, I led Colin, the hero, a strong fellow from Ramsgate, Sal, a dear girl from Ash, Edward, of whom I'm very fond, Anthony Brown, who brought a bottle of Riesling, and the other guests to the garden. We used wood chips to start a fire. Robbo, the rascal, loped towards the flames. Playing croquet tested our skills on the hard ground, so we played with bubble guns instead. Col can nonchalantly run from the giant bubble, and squeak with pleasure. As the bottle got covered with ash, Brown started to complain. It was a ute Edward used to drive everyone home again.
