_______________________________________________________________

At home there was a lot of work.

They would make sure that everything was spic and span for when people
came over to sleep there for the night.

The next day at home people had to wash up when they woke up.

Then they would get changed and they would see birds outside their window.

They would have breakfast which would be Cereal, eggs on toast, porridge
and all the stuff you eat in the morning.
After breakfast you’d have to go somewhere like
school, work, places that you do work.
then you would go home and get changed out of your uniform or suit.
Then you would eat dinner, do something and go to sleep.

The next day you would do the same thing all over again. but instead of going
to school or work it would be the holidays meaning you can go to all kinds of
places.
Like the beach, the theatre, a show, the circus and all kinds of places that are
fun.
Then you would probably go by the shop and see new toys like soldier teddy
bears
with little toy cannons.
Board games like chess, bingo, snakes and ladders or trains and what not.
