there but in summer, 150 tourists come by boat every day.
Every weekday I get up at 6:00 and make breakfast for the hotel guests. At 8.00 I

Margaret in the shop.

television. In the evenings Margaret makes supper and I do the accounts. At 10:00 we
have a glass of wine and then we go to bed. Perhaps our life isn’t very exciting, but we
