I came from a little town in England and had never before lived in a big city. London was a new world to me and I wanted to find out more about it for myself. On the day I arrived in London, the weather was fine.
I went for a walk in Kensington Gardens.
The trees just burst into leaf.
People in light spring clothes were walking about.
And to my surprise they walked not only along the paths but also across the grass.
I passed a pool in which ducks were swimming; children were playing in playgrounds, some hours passed.
It was time for me to go home.
I came out into the street.
At stops people were getting on and off public transport.
I took bus number 75 and in 15 minutes I was at home.
