@Gabriela that’s funny… when I was reading your description about your house that was ‘relatively isolated’ I was thinking …it’s my dream! Last year when we moved to Como, we had about 3 days to find a flat (and it was slim pickings I assure you!) Anyway, really out of desperation we chose the flat we are currently in. I can’t stand it. When I look out the window I see into all my neighbour’s flats, and we are sandwiched in between and under noisy families … I feel like we are in fishbowl! Cannot wait to make a change!
I’m very happy for you that this big change gave you a new lease of life – it sounds exciting that you can go on your paddle whenever you want and enjoy lake life. As for modern buildings, I have had a similar experience. I love the feeling of old buildings but the comforts of new builds are unbeatable.
Notes: this piece is very well written and enjoyable to read. Honestly I only have two corrections to make.
> instead of ‘settlement’ I’d use ‘development’ (as in housing development). (We use settlement to describe historic places that previously had been uninhabited, and then people established a community.)
> In this phrase: First of all because we finally have had neighbours > it is sufficient to use the past simple: First of all because we finally had neighbours
Excellent workđź‘Ť
