Theres no place like home

Friday morning, here’s the postman

It’s a postcard, Auntie Jean

Regaling us with stories

Of the places she has been

She’s travelled all around the world

From here to Kathmandu

Walked the wall of China

And been trekking in Peru

Visited the Pyramids

Gone climbing in Nepal

From Australia to Zanzibar

She must have seen it all

Now she’s had her fill of travelling

Says that she’ll no longer roam

But come and live with us, because

There is no place like home

Sorry to disappoint you Ian

Sorry to disappoint you Ian but my accent is still pretty much South essex (a little bit Cockney)I have only been in Norfolk for a few years, give me a bit of time and I'm sure I'll perfect the local accent, thanks for reading. Regards John
