I live in a small village Henfield. There are about 500 people here. The village is quiet and life here is slow and easy. You never have to queue in shops or banks.

Everyone knows everyone and if someone has a problem, there are always people who can help. However,there are some things I don't like about Henfield.One thing is that there's not much to do in the evening. We haven't got any cinemas or theaters.
