We live in Yorkshire, on a farm in the country. The farmhouse is quite an old building. It’s about 250 years old, I think. There aren’t many houses near us. There’s a pub in the village about three miles away, but we’re over twenty miles from the nearest town. That can be difficult for shopping, but we love it here. It’s very quiet, there’s no traffic, and the view is wonderful.
Our uncle’s family, however, don’t live in a house or a flat. They live on a houseboat. The boat looks small, but it’s quite big inside. Apart from the bathroom, it only has one room, so they have to do everything there – eat, cook, sleep, and watch TV.
