I Read the passage and choose the best answer
We live in a two-bedroom house as soon as James starts calling “Mummy, Mummy” around seven every morning, he wakes everyone up Being his mother I like to be the first to greet him, so I get up
I take him downstairs and start getting breakfast ready Before long the other kids – Heather (almost 17), Mary (10) and Stella (8) – are also down If Paul is recording or we are touring, I try to make sure he’s not disturbed But if he isn’t working, he gets up at the same time and joins the kids at breakfast He’s an excellent father, very involved and protective towards them
It seemed mad to have moved from a large house in London to a small place on the South coast, but
it is so much cosier Paul and I are in the kind if business where we can be totally detached from our kids and hardly see them grow up
Quite often Paul comes with me when I drive the girls to school Mary and Stella go to a local
primary school and Heather attends a nearby art school I drive a Mini because being an American I’m used
to wide road, so with a small car I have no fear about scrapping it

interest we share closely is football We rarely get to see matches but we always watch it on television Paul
