　　John Haslam is talking about his garden.

　　You know, I don't really like the country.It's too quiet.

　　There's not enough movement,not enough action,not enough to do.But I'm like most other people:I need some peace and quiet sometimes,and This little garden is my peace and quiet.It's big enough for me. During the summer Imay spend three or four hours out here.But even in the winter I may come out here for an hour or two at the weekends,if th weather's good.It's a good place to sit with my typewriter.And ir's a good place to sit with a book and a drink.And do you know something?I spend as much time out of the house now as I did when I lived in the country.Funny,isn't it?
