LIFE IN MY GRANDPARENTS' TIME (Frederic Porta)

My Grandfather was born in Tossa de Mar. His house was very big because there were more than fifteen brothers ans sisters! They didn’t have so much electricity, sometimes light bulb, but they used more the candles. There were a few buckets with water in order to wash themselves. They went to school. They lived near the countryside, so, they could have a donkey in house. When the civil war got started they moved to a house on can Samada, in that place is now a campingsite. In that time they couldn’t go to school, so a teacher went to the house to teach them. The house was bigger than the other, with more rooms, improvisated bathrooms and a great garden to play. The house had three floors and a sink on the upper floor. Downstairs there was a kitchen and a big dining room. Also it was a little river so they play and wash the clothes on it. The house also have a little fireplace on the dining room. In the back of the house it was a orchard. The house was totally surrounded by woods.
