Dear Charlotte, Great to talk to you yesterday and thanks so much for agreeing to look after the house! I'm just writing to fill you in on everything. You'

love staying here. I live high up on a hill overlooking the ocean.

Although

it feels like you're in a remote spot, it's actually just a ten-minute walk into town. When you arrive on the train, give my sister a call on the number I sent you

last

week, and she'

pick you up and drop you at my place. There's not a lot I'd like you to do, but Johnny the bulldog needs two walks a day and feeding morning and night. I have a garden and

this

time of the year it really has to be watered every day, but it's not large so it shouldn't take too long. That's about it as Marjorie will come in to clean a couple of times, so no housework! While you're here, there'

be a festival in town, as well as the flower show and all sorts of entertainment like music, theatre and dancing. I know you're a keen hiker so I'

leave a local map which shows loads of beautiful walks. You won't get bored! Thanks again and give me a buzz if there are any issues. Safe travels. Love, Charmaine

Nowadays, it is true that the flow of people has become a common phenomenon, so many people choose to work or reside in another country. In my view, we should allow most people to commute freely between nations while restricting some illegal individuals considering its benefits and disadvantages.
