As mentioned in an earlier post I spent a few days in the marvellous Black & White historical village of Weobley (pronounced Webbly) in Herefordshire; a gorgeous little village to be sure. There were many trappings of modern life that were missing, like internet reception, supermarkets, Starbucks, Costa Coffee and traffic lights, but there were many things I saw that I never see in London:
tractor and trailer laden with hay driving through the centre of town
green fields from my bedroom window
sheep in the fields
and a blanket of stars at night

There definitely are benefits to being in the country. I am heading that way again in the near future and after last nights road-works right outside my window till after 2am in the morning…..I am looking forward to the peace and quiet of the country and a peaceful, traffic-free sleep. 🙂

You sure you haven’t travelled back in time?
LOL! Thomas, I think I did 🙂 It certainly felt like it. a different pace and the locals were so friendly….which reminds me I should have added that in….everyone says ‘hello’ or ‘good morning’ when you pass them on the streets.
