1. Me, and where I come from!

2. L a n ca ste r
(U n iv e r s it y )
It takes about
4 hours to
travel by train
to Lancaster
from where I
live.
C h in n o r
(H o m e )
Chinnor is
about 45
minutes
away from
London.
London!
The capital city!
I have to pass
through
London on my
way to and
from Lancaster
on the train. I
have to stop
and change
trains on the
underground
(tube) system.

3. C h in n o r
Chinnor is a village,
so it's much smaller
than London and
Lancaster.
In winter all the leaves fall off the
trees, and the ground gets
covered in them. The trees also
look very different without their
leaves.
My dad keeps bees,
so they live in my
grandmother's
garden and they
make honey from
the flowers there.

4. C h in n o r
Here you can see
some of the
streets and
shops in Chinnor
– it's a very small
town! I live in a
square, and my
house is the one
which is hidden
behind the tree!

5. Lancaster
Lancaster also looks different in summer and winter. It
has a canal (a small, man-made river) which runs through
the city.
I play squash in Lancaster,
and I'm part of the university
squash team.

6. Around Lancaster
I like to go
walking with my
friends in the
hills of the Lake
District, which
are quite close
to Lancaster.
Sometimes
when it gets
very cold it
snows, although
it usually snows
more in Chinnor.

7. A London cab (they are black taxis)
A red double-decker bus
London
Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament
(and another London bus!)
You can find red
telephone boxes all
over England, not just
in London

8. M y v is it to L o n d o n
I went to London with my
friends as part of a
challenge. We had to
travel as far away from
Lancaster as possible
without spending any
money. And when we got
there it was a really grey
and rainy day!
