Nice but small.

I think it's a nice neighbourhood. Although the school had to close because there was a shortage of pupils. It was a nice school, I'm glad I was able to finish my school. But enough about the school. I think our village is nice but there are very few children in our village and quite a lot of elderly people, but I know almost all the people on my street and because it's so small you know a lot of people. Greetings Féline
