[QUOTE="JTL, post: 2028524, member: 49289"] I moved from Manchester to a small Welsh village. I never thought how much I'd stand out as a stranger in town. After having lived there a while I would notice a stranger instantly in the street so began to understand it. I now live in an even smaller Welsh village and love living out here. Lived like this now for over thirty years. Foxes badgers rabbits hares polecats buzzards geese ducks pheasants and more are on the road kill list. The moths and butterflies and bees .... yes bees are in abundance along with wild flowers field mushrooms forests cliff tops and beaches never far away even though I live in the hills. When I go visit family back in Manchester I get within ten miles of the airport and the air is thick with petrol and diesel fumes something I never noticed whilst living there. The noise is dreadful. The roads are so slow and so busy .... nearly all the roads around me are 60 mph so different driving experience daily. I love the hills the mountains the clear air the peace and quiet and could never live in a city again comfortably. The silence at night was difficult to get used to at first. Couldn't sleep because of it. You can hear the wildlife. Even in the daytime I can hear the flapping of wings from a bird as small as a sparrow. The butcher is part of a farming family and you get to eat things that were looking over the fence at you not so long back. Very tasty. It's the village life for me. [/QUOTE]
