My childhood house was this old cottage on argyle st in herne hill in the swan valley the cottage was old with grape vines on one side the other side vacant sand full of weeds with purple flowers there was a long gravel driveway leading up two the house at the back of the house there was an orange orchid the orange trees were old with big sweet juicy oranges the air smelt fresh crisp and clean in the morning at night we could see billions of stars to gaze at sometimes we would clime onto the roof at night and look at the stars the house was old with three bedrooms with a fire place also we had a back shed and a chicken pen we even had chickens they use to live out back in the orange orchid. my primary school was down the road my sister Edith and I went to herne hill primary school, there was an old train tracks near our house we used to count carriages and through rocks at trains we could hear the trains passing from our house at all hours we lived near the hills so of course we could see them I had friends that lived near by so we would ride our bikes to each others house in the holidays , weekends and after school I liked living in the area there was a lot of grapevines and wineries and other county things we also lived near the highway with trucks with various things like sheep cattle which smelt foul when I was in high school I use to wait at a bus stop on the highway to get to school it use to get really hot in summer and there were big bull ants sometimes I would miss the bus and had to wait 2 hours for the next there was an oval near our place were people use to play cricket and there was a little park we would sometimes play in the rain My place My room What I like about my room is my posters my favourite poster is Tweety saying 100% attitude I have lots of posters in my room on my walls. also I have glow in the dark stars and stickers on my walls that glow when I go to bed at night. I also have a light shade on my ceiling light which is a paper big round ball that changes the light to red. I like my bed and pillows my big blue dolphin blanket and my elephant my pink hello kitty cover. I have my computer desk with my speakers to play loud music off the internet like youtube. my jewellery, books, perfumes, picture frames with photos candles, and my decorations. Other rooms What I like about other rooms and places in my house are the kitchen because I help make dinner at night and I like eating and making food that I bought from the shops I also like the bathroom because I like keeping clean and smelling nice. Also the lounge room to watch DVDs, cartoons, news and TV with my mother Lynette at night. Also listening to the radio. In the lounge room I like the red shaggy carpet and the wooden blinds. My favourite place in my house is between the kitchen, bathroom, lounge room or my own room. Probably choose my own room for all my things or the kitchen because I like eating yummy things that Lynette and I get from the shops either Woolworths or Coles. My favourite place in the garden Is sitting in the sitting area that is inside the garden I like the flowers the ferns the bamboo the nasturtiums, daisies, that surround the sitting area and the garden out the back. At the front of my house there are lost of big bushy trees covering the front of my house that make the garden. Now walk and talk out the back there are three levels all filled with plant there was a stepping stone path through the garden through to a sitting place/ clearing. Which is shaded by trees. There is a side walk way with gates that also goes past the side of the house to the carport and to the front garden which also has trees covering the front of the house. So when you look out my bedroom windows you see trees and bushes mostly native plants and lots of birds. Walking down the street there is an oval and recreation centre and paddocks where sometimes we see people with a horse and cart going through the paddocks the houses around the street are well kept neat and tidy, casual nice people live there and sometimes they say hello. We recently moved to my new house so I do not yet know the history of the street. There are some nice limestone houses down the street. Walks There are two walks Lynette and I like to do first to South Beach I don’t remember all the names of streets but I know the way to go from my house and follow the bike path through to south Beach with café and jetties. Or again I can’t remember the name of streets but the walk is to the swap park lost of paper bark trees and a swap lake with a playground area and clearings of grass.

The characters and people in my street ** __The landlady__ ** My land lady is weird scary she lives down the road in a community house she is tall with brown hair I reckon she is about 39 when I met her she was pregnant, we only recently moved into the house about 3 months ago so we hardly no her she looks like a scary witch with evil eyes I wonder if she grows the funny stuff ** __The commune__ ** Our land lady lives in a commune about 20 people live there they all look like hippies the commune is on the same st we live on B… our st is a very quiet peaceful st the commune is on the quiet far corner there are lots of native trees surrounding the commune is a old limestone two story with stain glass windows I’ve never been inside ** __The music boy__ ** The guy next door competes with me over the volume of music sometimes I play loud music other times they play the loud music he listens to the radio so do I. I’ve never met him so I couldn’t say much about him there is always cars coming and going from his place so he must have a lot of friends. ** __The kids__ ** Often I see groups of children walking down the road together then I see school kids coming and going also teenagers walking around ** __Alma street the crazy people at the bus stop__ ** Sometimes on the other end of my road there are strange people hanging round the bus stop coming and going waiting for buses they must live around the area someof the people are the same people from alma st
