SETTLING DOWN IN ENGLAND

My name is Martin Anderson. My wife and I are Danish. As a matter of fact, many of my ancestors were English. I was born in England, and was originally of British nationality. I lost my parents when I was a baby and lived in Denmark with my grandmother, so that Danish is really my native language. We arrived in England last February at five o'clock on a Wednesday morning. We were both sick on the journey. To make matters worse, I left my camera on the ship. Few visitors experienced such an unfortunate beginning to their stay, and we certainly wanted to go straight home again. We stayed for a week in a hotel, and were then lucky enough to find a house in the suburbs of London. It is not so convenient as our flat in Copenhagen, but it is less expensive. I am studying at the Local Technical College and, in addition, often attend public lectures at the University of London on as many subjects as possible, chiefly to improve my English. I am an engineer and have worked for several years at a factory. Our two children have joined us. My wife is working as a part-time nurse in a hospital. Most of our neighbours are kind, but often ask dull questions, such as "What is the weather like in Denmark?" or "What kind of games do you play?"
