I still live in my hometown, which has grown from 5,000 to 65,000 in the last 50 years, and I can't think of any way in which that has been an improvement!Golden Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590087189810939432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-81836523553848966492012-11-04T02:39:47.397-08:002012-11-04T02:39:47.397-08:00As a fellow village-dweller, I'm with you all ...As a fellow village-dweller, I'm with you all the way here, Pat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-27818680233948256912012-11-03T12:35:23.071-07:002012-11-03T12:35:23.071-07:00for me Edinburgh is the ideal, it's a small ci...for me Edinburgh is the ideal, it's a small city with lots of cinemas and theatres and other cultural happenings but also lots of green spaces and small enough to be very easy to get round.

I would judge our little 'neck of the woods' to be just right, but I am sure there are people who would disagree. Maybe it is a good thing that not everyone is suited to country living, otherwise it would get too crowded.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-2658525799787548702012-11-03T04:58:50.394-07:002012-11-03T04:58:50.394-07:00It was very interesting to read this as the very l...It was very interesting to read this as the very large city in which I live is recovering from Hurricane Sandy.

I feel especially sorry for those who have to live in high rise buildings in big cities who rarely see or speak to their neighbours.

I like living in small places too and have never lived in a city or even a large town. I like meeting people I know when I'm shopping and at a time when everything seems to change so rapidly, this gives a sense of continuity.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.com
