I will go back to England next week to visit my friends and family.
My hometown is called Colchester.
It is in a rural area of England called Essex, about one hour from London.
Colchester is the oldest recorded town in the UK.
It is a Roman town and has many old ruins from around 2000 years ago.

Colchester has a castle too, which is a Norman castle built on the site of a Roman one.
This castle is about 1000 years old and situated in the town centre.
Also, Colchester is famous for being an "army town", because there is a garrison in the town.
There has been a garrison in Colchester since Roman times.
So, you can see many soldiers around the town.
I will go back on Tuesday.
I hope I have a good trip!
