. I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years. So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek there was a small pond on the right. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall there. A new post office has also been built just across from my old school.

There is a baseball stadium on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely. They have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.

 The biggest changes have taken place in the downtown area. They have pedestrianised the centre and you can't drive there anymore. A Europe – style fountain has been built and some beaches have also been added along with a grassy area and a new street café. My street looks just the same as it always has but a public library has been built in the next street along. There used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees which is a pity.

 Another improvement is the number of new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Chinese restaurant and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town centre and  a Mexican restaurant have opened near my home. Which is where I am going tonight!

26. Jake’s school doesn’t exist anymore.

27. Jake likes the new- look baseball stadium.

28. It’s only possible to reach the downtown area on foot.

29. The buildings in the centre of the town look European

30. Jake is going to eat Italian food tonight.

My wife and I have been lived in the country since 5 years. We had moved here after our second child was born. We had been living in the town for 10 years and decided that as soon as we can afford it, we would move away to the smoke and the noise of the city center, which we finally had done in 1985. We have never regretted it. We are reminded of the wisdom of our deciding every morning when we draw our curtains seeing open fields stretched before us.
