I Live Where I Live, The Country.

Where I live is very important to me and it’s a big part of who I am. I’ve chosen where I live very carefully and am very happy with my choice.

Eeveryone can choose where they live and that’s exactly what I’ve done.

I’m lucky enough to live out in the country and I just love living in the country. I’ve lived out here for 3  years now. And I grew up in the city but I wouldn’t really want to go back to the city any more.

And there’s so much here in the country that you’ll never see  living in the city. Here’s an example. Cycling. I love to ride bikes and it keeps me fit which is so very important. But it’s good for so many other reasons. It gets me outdoors to places that are so good to be in.

And riding gets you out where you see so  many things that make it worthwhile. I love to see all of the sheep and cows in the paddocks. Actually I have my own cows and sheep and I love that and I even get calves.

There’s so many other advantages to living out here and cows and calves at my house is just one of them. It’s nature and I love to see nature.

Now it’s summer and it’s so very hot I can feel it right through my feet. There’s  been some hot weather and it’s getting on top of me, I don’t like the heat much. Of course it would still be hot  even if I lived in the city but here it’s still better. I see lots of nature, I see the seasons come and go and I see things like the grass start to grow  and stop and the leaves fall off the trees and start to grow again.

All of the leaves turn such great colors, and then they fall off and they look so good on the ground around the base of the tree, and the trees drop seeds and new baby  trees start to grow underneath them. I ge t to see the old and the young, all cycling like me.

Nature cycles just like I do, and I love to watch it all happening right through the year in front of me.

If I lived in a city I mightnt even have a garden at all. I mightn’t have a tree. I might have a lot of concrete though, I might have pavers and a BBQ, but I mightn’t have a tree or a blade of grass anywhere.

And unlike here I probably wouldn’t get to see the seasons change.

Personally I think it’s very sterile in the city and of course that’s just my view, not everyone thinks  that.

My family lives in the city and they love it. My brother is a doctor and he’s still single, so he likes the social life of the city. There’s things to do there that he’s into, and it suits him. But the city is not for me I have to say.

I grew up in the city and spent a lot of my life there. Then it was fine but it really feels now  as if I wasted a lot of time in the city, I wish I’d been born in the country instead. I feel a little like I wasted a lot of my life in the city, that’s sad isn’t  it?

I didn’t really waste that time of course but it feels that way. I should ask my brother if he’d like to live here but I doubt he would. He  likes the city a lot.

Give me the country any time, but my brother loves the city.
