Good work! Thank you for sharing your joy with us. Your uncle sounds awesome.

My uncle went (came?) home yesterday.

“Came” and “went” are used similarly to 来 and 去 in Chinese. “Went” describes movement AWAY from you. “He went home” means he left you and went to his home. If you were already at home and he joined you there, use “came”: “My uncle came home.”

Today he took me to the county townseat and he bought me a lot of my favorite snacks.

The “county seat” is the main town in the county, where the county government offices are located.

It is a day for family reunions.

In general, there are more than one family reunions happening on this day, that is why I changed it to plural form.

Today he took me to the county town and he bought me a lot of my favorite snacks.

Today - I am assuming this is from another time (since two sentences ago, he went home yesterday)

On the way shopping I took a fancy to a bag.

My uncle went home yesterday.

He has been very good to me.

Today he took me to thea country town and he bought me a lot of my favourite snacks.

Because of your use of “a fancy to…” in the below sentence, I will be correcting as if you are aiming for a British dialect, which we would spell it as favourite.

On the way shoppingto the shops I took a fancy to a particular bag.

I hesitated whether to buy it or not.

While I was hesitating, my uncle found my cautioncaught onto me and bought it for my for me without hesitation . At thise time, I felt thatlike I was the happiest girl in the world.
