Al marking his students’ paper in grandparents’
We spent 6 days holiday in my mum’s parents’ in Tangshan. The last I went to visit them was when I was 12. Their home hasn’t any changes. They still live a simple and plain country life. For Al, it was his first time to see the Chinese country-side. Read his feelings here. During the stay, we visited many relatives-my grandpa’s brothers and my grandma’s side. Apart from that, I had been enjoying sunshine in the garden.

Al spent most of his time either on watching TV shows on laptop or marking the students’ paper

Finally we found the rain much lighter and nearly stopped. So before the lunch time in grandparents’, Al’s father gave us a ride around the town of St. Andrews which is a famous university town in Scotland. Although we only had a brief sightseeing in the car, I liked this little lovely town and felt I would like to come back again. Wendy said she was considering to apply for the university cause she was told their president was a handsome noble man.
Nanny and Jimmy in their home, and you can see that they like to play crosswords.I took this photo before we left.I like the warm atmosphere of this photo and their warm and friendly smile.
Grandma was knitting a trendy hat. Finding that I’m interested in vintage stuffs and antiques, she was pleased to show me the old things they had in the house. Some of them are over 100 years old. And she gave me an old wedgewood plate as a present when I left.
Grandpa likes sitting in his chair reading newspaper or watching TV. He’s gonna be 90 years old this year.
My cousin likes to model for me.Here are two sketches and one photograph of a big amount.
