I live in a house
near the sea. It’s an old house, about 100 years old, and it’s very small.
There are two bedrooms upstairs but no bathroom. The bathroom is downstairs
next to the kitchen and there’s a living room where there is a lovely old
fireplace. There’s a garden in front of the house. The garden goes down to the
beach and in spring and summer there are flowers everywhere. So, I have a lot
of visitors. My city friends often stay with me.
I love my house for many reasons: the
garden, the flowers in summer, the fire in winter, but the best thing is the
view from my bedroom window.
