Almost twelve years ago, after my mother died, I moved to the village where I now live. Having moved "up north" from London in 1989, I seem drawn to smaller places .. and am very happy here. The neighbours are friendly and there are plenty of towns/cities within easy reach .. not that I would ever want to go .. as well as beautiful countryside close by. I keep working on various "projects" but the bungalow is still a work in progress. I used to dream of having a camper van and travelling around but now I prefer to stay at home.
