His daughter June, and her husband, Pete, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the center of London than John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden when their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space. The only drawback is that June’s husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but, overall, they are happy with their decision.

The bedrooms need decorating and we haven’t had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in the conservatory. We need to fix the gate and repair the path-it looks dreadful when you arrive.
