It seemed bigger, more like a big town and altogether better I thought. My friends who have always lived there hate the changes. As everyone seems to agree - it takes all sorts.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-80019126958041013702013-06-18T10:46:57.535-07:002013-06-18T10:46:57.535-07:00We live just at the edge of the town's city li...We live just at the edge of the town's city limits...so far enough away from all the hustle and bustle and close enough to country with 5 acres to enjoy. Love it here and good thing as we have been here 42 years. We would never survive in the town area.

I grew up in and around small cities in Virginia, and have lived most of my adult live in New York City.<br /><br />As you may know, my own site sort of looks at the same city/country question from a slightly different perspective. I actually do think I could be a country dweller. I know that you live in a gorgeous part of the world.<br /><br />The prior comments here were also very interesting to me.<br /><br />Cheers!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-83872063097567885372013-06-18T04:13:08.359-07:002013-06-18T04:13:08.359-07:00I think I agree with you.

I am so much happier now after twelve years here. Poorer financially but wealthy in every other way. Your mother was right.

I enjoyed living in Lincoln and I love shopping in Lichfield. But I couldn't imagine living in Wolverhampton.

I grew up with fields and woods on the doorstep and would still like to live down a little country lane but have reached the age when it makes sense to be nearer to shops, doctor, dentist, etc. It would be foolish to move to a city and then complain about the traffic or crowds, and I can never understand those who buy a cottage near the church in a village then complain about the bells on Sundays and practice nights.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-27180926288624585192013-06-17T10:59:18.697-07:002013-06-17T10:59:18.697-07:00Although born on the outskirts of a city, I was al...Although born on the outskirts of a city, I was always a country girl at heart.

This morning I was walking along a wooded riverside, song thrushes singing, grey wagtails flying low over the river, rabbits feeding in fields of buttercups. Then in the afternoon i collected my press pass for the Edinburgh International Film Festival! Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.com
