Essex

I stayed with my relatives in Brentwood for like a month, but didn’t get out much because they had a video machine and we’d never had one before. We saw grease 2, polterguist 3…and i think we fitted some sightseeing in there somewhere.

I drew a picture of their house and talked about how old it was (where I live most houses were built after the 1960s, and at the time my suburb was about 10 years old), and how people might have died in it. I think this offended my aunt lol.

She had this amazing flower garden, like you could hardly grow in Australia because it is so dry here. It was magical to my 9 year old eyes.

i lived here for 2 years, when I was 13-15, went to high school here, it was the best school i’ve been to

a lovely 10 days with friends of the family, such hospitality and peace =)
