Where I Live: Ham
by Lisa Lambourne
Richmond Park, near Ham, Surrey
Go to a printable version of this story

I moved to Ham in 2002 and it is near Richmond where there are loads of shops. In Ham there is a river where the boats come past. It's a lovely place to live in and you will never be bored. What I like about Richmond is there are lots of shops, cafes and cinemas.

My favourite cafe is Roehampton Asdas where we have some tea and crumpets and we have a chat with friends and we go shopping too. I get the bus called the 371 and I go to my favourite shopping centre. It is called Bentalls shopping centre. It is in Kingston where I would look around the shops. My favourite shop is called Boots the chemist, it is also in Kingston.

In the future I would like to live in Cornwall or Devon because it's right by the sea where I can sunbathe and relax in the sun. I like the arcades where myself and my son Oliver play the 2 pence machines to win prizes for my son Oliver and he also likes the funfair.

I have been to Cornwall where myself and my son Oliver went on holiday we went to Cambourne and we went for 5 days. I visited lots of places like Devon and I visited a lot of mountains. Me and my son Oliver walked all the way to the top of the mountains. It took 2 hours to get up the mountains and back.

Lisa studies Level 1 Literacy. She is a single mother of one child and has a cat called Snowy.
