Well, when I came I was met by my grandparents, I was very happy to see them. We came home and I unpacked my suitcase. In the evening we have very tasty supper and talked about the last news of our life.
There I have an active rest. Every day I got up early in the morning, took shower, have a breakfast and worked with my grandma in a garden. We took care of vegetables, I liked watered our plants such as tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cabbage.

I want to add that I liked to play with our dog, it is very smart, so it was a pleasure to spend my time with it. One day I have met my new friend with whom I acquainted in a train. He told me about his life in a village and we decided to go to the forest.
Next day I together with my grandfather and my friend went to pick up mushrooms. Also there we have found a lot of berries. On the way to home we saw the lake and decided to swim. The weather was fine, so the water was warm. When we came home my granny prepared dinner for us. In the evening I sat with my grandparents in the yard and read a book.
I was in a village one month. Unfortunately these days are ended and I have good memories. I hope that next summer I will visit my relatives again. I miss them very much.
