Reading
I was born in the early 1950s. I grew up in a small
village and I hated it. Even in those days, tourists
used to come during the summer to have a break
from the city. There was a train station then, so it
didnt matter if you didnt have your own transport.
Every year, the visitors strolled through the village
and had tea in the caf. They sometimes bought
food for a picnic and went into the fields and woods.
The tourists thought the village was fascinating, but
to me, it was the most boring place in the world. It
seemed like a prison. My friends and I wanted to
wear chic clothes and make-up, but there was no
place for high heels and sunglasses in the village.
Fashion was unimportant there.
I eventually fulfilled my dream and left to live in
London. Finally, 35 years later, I returned to the
village and was astonished by how much had
changed. All year round, people clog the narrow
streets, and the cars have to drive on the
pavements. I get a headache trying to shout above
the noise of the traffic. Its just like being in the city!
