Translation in the comments

Patruus meus quondam praefectus erat in Āfricā Merīdiānā. Nunc mīlitiā vacat, et agellō suō operam dat. Agellus patruī meī nōn magnus est. Circum vīllam est hortus. Mūrus hortī nōn altus est. Rīvus est prope hortum, unde aquam portāmus, cum hortum irrigāmus. In hortō magnus est numerus rosārum et violārum. Rosae et violae tibi, mī patrue, magnam laetitiam dant. Tū, Lȳdia, cum patruō meō in hortō saepe ambulās.

My uncle was once an officer in South Africa. He is now retired from the military, and gives his attention to his plot of land. My uncle's plot of land is not big. There is a garden around the house. The garden wall is not high. There is a stream near the garden, from where we carry water when we water the garden. In the garden there is a great number of roses and violets. Roses and violets give you great joy, my uncle. You, Lydia, often walk with my uncle in the garden.
