england. it is not an official government region, but rather an informal amalgamation of counties. the southern extentof the region is roughly the river trent,[4] while the north is bordered by scotland. the counties of northern englandcombined have a population of around 14.5 million covering an area of 37,331 km2 (14,414 sq mi).
during antiquity most of the area was part of brigantia — homeland of the brigantes and the largest brythonickingdom of great britain. after the roman conquest of britain the city of york became capital of the area, calledbritannia inferior then britannia secunda. in sub-roman britain new brythonic kingdoms of the hen ogledd emerged.the angle settlers created bernicia and deira from which came northumbria and a golden age in cultural, scholarlyand monastic activity, centered around lindisfarne and aided by irish monks.[5] norse and gaelic viking raidersgained control of much of the area, creating the danelaw. during this time there were close relations with mann andthe isles, dublin and norway. northumbria was unified with the rest of england under eadred around 952.
after the norman conquest in 1066, desolation was brought with the harrying of the north, though much constructionand town founding was done shortly after. a council of the north was in place during the late middle ages until thecommonwealth after the civil war. the area experienced anglo–scottish border fighting until the unification of britainunder the stuarts.

Ithink it is impossible to live in our modern word without travelling because there are many interesting places to visit and see. railway and bus stations, airports and seaport are busier in summer than in other seasons of a year because of school holidays. travelling is the best way of spending holidays because you can visit different interesting places in your country and abroad. i prefer to travel by train because i like to look out of the window and watch the nature and a lot of small towns and villages. of course, i usually travel with my parents because i am a teenager and my parents don’t allow me to travel by myself. i have already been in moscow, berlin, volgograd, saratov. i have never been to london. it’s my dream. seaside is better to travel in summer because you can swim and dive, sunbathe and relax. my parents and i always take a camera with us when we are going to travel because we like to take photos very much. to my mind it is better to travel for pleasure because you may relax and don’t think about business.

At last holidays came! i was very happy! i didn't have to get up early in the morning and run to school. i could stay in the bed till midday. but i didn't want to sleep. there were a lot of things to do. the weather was fine so my friends and i went for a walk every day. it was fun! then i spent a month in the country where my grandfather and grandmother lived. it was great. i drank milk and ate a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me. i have many friends in this village because i go there every holidays. we played football and tennis every day! there is a small river near the forest and we swam when the weather was fine. it was greaat! i liked my holidays very much. наконец наступили каникулы! я был счастлив! я не должен был вставать рано утром и бежать в школу. я мог оставаться в постели до полудня. но я не хотел спать. было так много дел. погода была хорошая, так что мои друзья и я ходили гулять каждый день. это было весело! затем я провел месяц в деревне, где живут мои дедушка и бабушка . это было здорово. я пил молоко и ел много вкусной пищи, которую моя бабушка готовила для меня. у меня много друзей в этой деревне, потому что я езжу туда каждые каникулы. мы даже играли в футбол и теннис! около леса есть небольшая речка. мы купались, когда погода была хорошая. это было здорово! мне понравились мои каникулы.
