Types of Family

I live in Bristol with my mum, dad and brother, Tim. My parents met at university and got married when they finished their studies. I was born a year later and my brother was born when I was three years old.

Mum and I have just got home from holiday in Spain. Mum works hard so that we can go away once a year. It may sound strange, but I have a lot of fun with my mum. There’s just the two of us at home, so it’s a good thing we get along!

Every summer, the whole family gets together for a party at my grandparents’ house. All three generations are there – grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and everyone. We have a fantastic time. For me, it’s the best day of the year!
