 TIM'S BANK HOLIDAY

It was bank Holiday yesterday and for the first time the Redfords had a very good day! On Bank Holidays they
used to get in the car and dad drove to some distant place... but they soon got stuck in a traffic jam and they
ended up waiting for hours in the car.

Yesterday everything was different. Dad and Elsa, the young daughter, went for a walk around London.It was
really exciting! They took a camera with them and dad taught Elsa how to take good photos. They took a lot of
strange and funny photos of the most famous sights. Mum didn't go with them. She works a lot but she's also a
very sporty woman. So... she put on her trainers, took a walkman and went running in St. James's Park. She
went alone... there's always a lot of people where she works and every now and then she needs to spend some
time on her own. And what about Tim, the Redfords' son? Uncle Brad came to pick him up early in the
morning to go to the local swimming pool. He enjoyed a lot: he went up and down the water slides all day long.
Poor Uncle Brad!

The Redfords have got a cat: its name's Balloon. He doesn't like going out, so he stayed at home and slept in
the sitting room -next to the sofa- all day long. He has got a big, soft, warm basket.
