    The document describes life in a small village before the author's family moved to London when they were 14. It discusses how there used to be more amenities in the village like shops and a school, but they have since closed. It also describes daily chores the author used to do, like collecting eggs from chickens, gathering firewood from the nearby wood, and getting in trouble for watching trains along a railway line that has also disappeared. Life was simpler then and the family didn't have much money or a TV, so evenings were spent reading, playing games, and listening to stories from the author's father about his childhood.

    When I was 14, we moved to London and my life changed forever. Before that, we used to live in a small house with a
    big garden at the edge of the village.

    The village was busier than it is today. There used to be two shops, a post office, a school and a pub. They’ve all gone
    now.

    I remember we didn’t use to have much money. One day I lost $20 and my mum was very angry. To cut costs, we grew a
    lot of our own food in the garden. We kept chickens too, and every morning I would have to go out to the henhouse and
    collect the eggs for breakfast. I used to hate this chore, especially in the cold weather.

    There was a wood* near the house – it’s still there - and in the winter I used to go there with my dad and my sister to
    look for firewood. We brought this home and my dad chop it up and put it in the open fire that we had in the sitting
    room.

    About a mile from the house there used to be a railway line**. That’s gone now too. We would often go there at the
    weekend to watch the trains. But we got into trouble if my mum found out. We used to send to bed early and not
    allowed out the next day.
    We didn’t use to have a TV– we couldn’t afford one. So in the evenings we read or play games together and before we
    went to bed, my dad used to tell us stories about when he was young.
