Its pouring with rain, I guess Im in training now for the big trip on Friday, tropical rainforrest rain will come as a welcome relief from what is falling outside my window as I sit here and type.
This morning I lay in bed sleepy and in that beautiful half awake, half asleep state and was thinking about what I love about this place where I live.
I love the "laid back" speed of the people here, even after 16 years I find it slow, and I know Ive slowed down
I love the east coast evenings, the strange light that fills the sky.
I love walking through the fields of wheat and barley and hearing the sound of the sky lark rising.
I love the sound of the nightingale that lives outside my window in the summer and sings all night.
I love the mist and fog in the autumn.
I love the way my lane floods after the slightest rain and how still the water is and how sharp the reflections.
I love the way people from east anglia add extra vowels when they speak....towan (for town) Moosic(music).
I love how each day the river where i live looks different.
I love how this feels like home.
What do you love about where you live? I need a big long list to keep me going while Im away
