I live on a houseboat on the river Thames in London. It’s very quiet. You only hear boats. There isn’t any noise from cars or buses. We moved here four years ago. My parents wanted to buy a flat near the river but they were all very expensive. Then they found our houseboat. It’s very comfortable; it’s got central heating and a modern bathroom. Obviously, there isn’t a garden here, but in the summer, we sit outside in the sun. There are two problems with this houseboat. Sometimes, it goes up and down a lot and things fall off the tables. And of course there isn’t a lot of space on a houseboat. So I don’t have a lot of clothes and games. The best thing about our houseboat is that we can travel in it. Last year we went to France. It was a brilliant holiday! We didn’t need to pack suitcases. We took our home on holiday with us!

Oliver (12)

I live in a castle in Scotland. The castle isn’t ours but we have a lovely flat in the castle. The castle is near the sea and it’s very old. Behind the castle, there’s a big mountain and there’s a forest too. There’s also a big garden with a tennis court and a swimming pool. I swim a lot and I’ve got my own surfboard. My parents came here eight years ago when I was 4, they work here. My father looks after the garden, the forest and the pool. And my mother is the housekeeper; she cleans the castle, does the shopping and cooks. It’s a great place to live: I’m near the sea, I’ve got a private forest to go for walks and my friends love coming here to visit me. Maria (13)
