Waterford Country Village is a retirement village. Only people over 55 years old live there. Everyone is retired; no one works anymore. Grandpa loves it because there is so much to do. There is a swimming pool and a gym. There are lots of beautiful gardens. There is a large lounge where everyone can meet. There are also useful things like the chemist’s and the hairdresser’s. I usually go to visit him once or twice a month. He is very busy so I have to phone him first to find a convenient time. I went in to see him last week. We went for a walk in the garden together. Then we played basketball with his friends. Grandpa’s friends are so nice. They have a lot of fun together. Later, Grandpa and I walked to a café in the town. Greenborough is a nice town. Grandpa goes there a few times a week.
