Hi readers! It’s your favourite blogger, Tim! I didn’t write for a few weeks because
I moved away from the city of London to the countryside. I want to tell you all
about my new town. I live in Painswick. It’s a small town in southwest England.
There aren’t a lot of people in Painswick. In fact, the population is only around
3,000, but the local people are very friendly! There isn’t a lot of entertainment, but
it’s very quiet and relaxing. I often go for walks in the countryside and take photos
of the beautiful scenery. Life in the city is always so stressful because the streets
are crowded and there’s heavy traffic. Now, it’s easy for me to get around
because I can walk everywhere in town! What is it like where you live? Tell me
about it in the comments below!
