It’s quite a small house. There’s a living room and a kitchen downstairs, and then two small bedrooms upstairs, but it’s big enough for us. There’s my husband and me, and our son, Thomas. Dave The houses around here are about a hundred years old and people are very friendly. People don’t want to move away, they want to live near their family, so my parents are very close … Maggie … and my mother lives next door! We have a small garden where Thomas plays, and I go out and have a chat with my mother! Thanos I live in a flat on the fourth floor. I live alone. There’s a kitchen where I cook and eat, a living room with a balcony, and two small bedrooms. I live in Athina – you say Athens in English – but not in the centre of town because there are too many cars. It’s a nice area. The shops aren’t far, and the flat is comfortable. It’s about five years old, which I like. I don’t like old buildings.
