Mr Walker in his hometown

Last Tuesday I went to my hometown for spending the day as usual. It’s a small quiet seaside
town close to the city that I work and live in. I always look forward to Tuesdays because it’s my
day off so I can rest and have a good time. Last Tuesday I woke up early, drove about 30 km and
reached my parents’ cottage at about 7 o’clock in the morning. When I opened the gate of the
garden, my father was picking some tomatoes and cucumbers for breakfast. Their dog, Princess
was jumping up and down and waving her tail as she was overjoyed to see me. I petted her on
her head and then hugged my father. Then we went into the house. My mum was cooking my
favourite cheese omelette and setting the table when I entered the kitchen. She was happy to
see me. We sat at the table and had a family breakfast. Then I went out for a stroll around the
town. The sun was shining brightly, and it was quite warm. I decided to visit the town center first.
As I was walking down Rose Street, I saw my old friend, George. He was trying to change one of
his car tyres because it blew out. I stopped to help him. Mr. and Mrs. Davies were passing by and
approached us to ask what had happened. I think they were coming from the supermarket
because they were carrying a few bags in their hands. After we finished replacing the new tyre
with the spare one, George thanked me and drove off. So, I went on walking. When I reached the
town center, I went directly into the florists. The only florist in our town, Mrs. Evans was
preparing a huge wreath for a funeral and her assistant was spraying some plants with water. I
said good day to them and ordered a nice bouquet of lilies for my mum. I sat on a chair and
waited. I was drinking a glass of tea which they offered when Mrs. Evans finished my bouquet. I
took it and left. Then I went into the souvenir shop next to the post office to buy gifts for my
mum and dad. I was thinking and looking at the items when the shop owner came and asked if I
needed any help. He showed me a beautiful tea set for mum and a silver pocket watch for dad.
They were gorgeous and their prices were reasonable, so I bought them and left the shop. I
walked to the town park to sit on a bench and rest for a while. The park was very crowded as
usual, and I started watching people around me. Sue and her sister, Ann were rollerblading while
their parents were doing yoga on their mats. Little Edward was holding an empty ice cream cone
and crying as he had dropped his ice cream on the ground. Mr. Lee was sitting under a tree and
reading his newspaper. Some boys were playing soccer on the grass. Mrs. Taylor was feeding the
birds with crumbs of bread and her husband; Larry was taking photographs. Diane was talking to
her son, William angrily as he had pulled a cat’s tail. Peter and his sister were running around the
park to keep healthy and fit. While I was watching people, I realized that I was missing my
hometown more and more each day. I thought I could move back one day. After a short time, I
went back home. When I arrived, my dad was taking a nap on the sofa and my mum was
watching a documentary about polar bears on TV
