My First Home

One of the titles on our TY Work Portfolio list is 'My First Home', which often draws effective personal responses. Here, Alec Cherry writes about his own first home, Allandale:

In the summer Jack and I would come home from school, and often play hide and seek in the field in front of our pink house. We loved to play in the field in the summer because the grass was taller than us. Later in the summer the local farmer would come up in his red tractor and cut the grass. Jack and I would run out and jump onto the tractor. When the grass was cut it was left to dry and then he would come back to bale the hay. I missed the long grass but loved the hay bales that we used to climb on, and run around.
