It’s been some time since we last spoke. I have some exciting news to tell you. Recently, I decided to return to the village in 1 I grew up, deep in the countryside in the South of England. As my home is now in Australia, this meant a long journey 2 plane across continents. I was exhausted when I arrived at the airport, but 3 having a long rest, I hired a car and set off.
My first shock came 4 I had to keep joining the busy motorways which now cross England in all directions. As I raced along with the rest of the traffic, I got the feeling that I was in for some more surprises.
I was right. When I finally arrived at the village, I stood in the village square. Everything was very different. There was 5 village shop; instead, I could see a large, bright supermarket. And the open fields I 6 to walk through to get to school, once filled with beautiful wildflowers, were now full of box-like modern houses.
So that’s all for now. Let me know what you’ve been doing all this time.
Miss you,
Sheila
