Seumas lives and works on an island near London. Only 120 people are on the island but in summer 150 touristscome on Seumas's boat every day. So Seumas gets up at six and makes breakfast for the people in the hotel. At eight, he drives the island's children to school. At nine, he gives lettersto all the houses on the island. He also sends milk to them. Then he helps in the shop. He says."Margaret likes to be busy, too. We are busy and we don't like watching TV in the shop." He says. "I cook the dinner and Margaret heips. At ten, we have some milk and them we go to bed. Perhaps our lifeisn't very interesting, but we like it."
