1. Friends

– One of my best friends is a guy called Raul.

I met him at uni in Barcelona where we were in the same study group. When was that? I suppose it was over 10 years ago now, so, yes, we’ve known each other for a good decade. We got to know each other on the tennis courts because the first few days of our course were so boring that we both decided we’d be better off outside playing tennis.

What kind of person is he?

He’s very active, a sporty type, involved in hiking and mountain biking – a bit of an adrenalin junky. He’s also a very determined person. When he gets into something, he gives one hundred per cent. And he changes passions often. That makes him a bit of a self-absorbed person actually, which I’d say is a drawback. And I think he comes across as full of himself sometimes; I mean a bit too sure of his own opinions! As for why I like him, well, he’s actually quite different from me. At uni, he’d often suggest doing something and I’d go along with it, and because I’m laid back I never felt overwhelmed by him. We’ve never fallen out or anything.

– How often do you see your friend?

– Well, because we live in different countries, we don’t see each other that often, but we try to catch up on a fairly regular basis, say three times a year.

2. Childhood

– I grew up very far from most of my fam ily so I only saw them once a year.

Every summer I would go to stay with them, wh ile my parents continued working. Although I missed my parents, I used to really enjoy spending time with my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. I spent all summer there, nearly two whole months, so from time to time my cousins and I would get bored, We would ask my grandparents if they had any ideas for interesting th ings we could do. Sometimes they suggested going for a bike ride, sometimes into town to do some shopping. At other times, they showed us a new game to play. Then we were happy again.

One day – it must be about 25 years ago (doesn’t time fly!! – all of us got really, really
bored and we kept complaining to my grandparents.

They were tearing their hair out, trying to think up ideas of where we could go and what we could do, Suddenly, my granddad came up with the idea of going to a new water park that had opened that summer, I hadn’t heard about it but my cousins had, and they told me all about it. It was a park with vast numbers of different pools, some inside, some outside. There were water slides as well. And, on top of that, there was not one, but two playgrounds with swings, a merry-go-round, see-saws.

We were so excited.

We set off and on the way we were all singing songs and laughing. We couldn ‘t wait to get there. When we arrived, my cousins and I ran into the park and changed into ou r swimming costumes. Then we went looking for the most exciting-looking pool, and we found it, one with brightly coloured tiles and slides, we jumped straight in. We played all day in the park and had a lovely lunch, sat on some benches in the sunshine.

My granddad loved a pool that was filled with spa water. It was dark brown and stank
of rotten eggs. I didn’t want to go in but he eventually convinced me. I’m pleased he did
because the water was really warm. I’~ never swam in water that warm. I didn’t want to get out, despite the terrible smell.

I consider it such a happy memory because we enjoyed ourselves so much and I
remember so vividly how I felt that day.

But there’s more to it than just that. When I look back now, I understand how caring my grandparents were and how much they wanted us all to be happy. They would have done anything to help us have a good time. I appreciate that more now that I’m older and have children of my own. I hope we thanked them; I can’t remember. But, anyway, they were content, I’m sure, to just watch us have an amazing time, playing and laughing in the water. So, as you can see, it was a wonderful day and is one of my favourite childhood memories.

What other activity did you use to enjoy when you were staying with your family?

– I loved going for walks in the local park. There were people selling all kinds of delicious foods from carts, so my grandparents would invariably buy us some treat, like homemade ice-cream or cakes.
