Rural Tranquility

[poliphilo]

I slept well- too well. the heaviness stretches out into the morning. I could get used to country living.

I was listening to the robin yesterday evening. How can such a small beastie make such a big noise?

I've brought my book of star maps down with me. I want to re-learn the night sky. I stepped out onto the lawn with it yesterday but the cloud cover was total.  The skies over Kent have a lot more light pollution than when I was a boy. Then you could see the Milky Way.

Tasks for this morning: Rake out mole hills, pick apples, make apple pie.

I loved living in the country.

I'm not sure I'd want to do it for very long.

I was out there for seven years, and I never got tired of it. But, I was with my partner, and not trying to date or have any kind of a "life" other that working on my house and enjoying the quiet. But as long as I have internet, I think I could do it for a very, very long time.

Yes, the internet makes a difference.

But I miss our neighbours- and being able to walk to the shops.
