The author lives in Harwich, Essex, England, a small and quiet town with a big port, shops, schools, and parks. While the author likes living in Harwich because their family and friends are there and they have lived there their whole life, they note dislikes as it is not popular with tourists and has poor weather. Historic attractions in Harwich include some shops dating to the 1600s and Redoubt Fort, built to prevent invasions, which holds an annual fair where people can tour. A local charity supports Harwich's lifeboats and their efforts to help people stranded at sea.
