I live about 35 miles from London. We live in a pub which is run by my family. It’s a lovely old building. People sometimes ask me what it’s like to live and work with my family all the time, but I always say I like it. We have a big house next to the pub and so it never gets too crowded, even though there are quite a lot of us. My grandparents, Annie and Jack, bought the pub 60 years ago. They don’t work in it any more, but they still live next door. Everybody knows them, and people sometimes call the pub “Annie and Jack’s”. They’re very proud of what they’ve done. My Mum, Jean, is their daughter. She’s spent all her life living here. My Dad, Jon, comes from a farm nearby, and now they run the pub together. I wonder if anybody will ever call it “Jean and Jon’s”?


　　As well as me, my parents and my grandparents, there are five other people living at the pub; my sister, Sue, and her daughter Kate live with us. Kate’s 4 years old. She’s my first niece and my parents’ first grandchild, so she gets everything she wants! Margaret, James and Elizabeth live with us, too. Margaret is my mum’s sister, and she and James, her husband, help my mum and dad to run the pub. Elizabeth is their daughter. It’s a very popular pub and people come from a long way away for Sunday lunch.
