Country life

I know I live in a city. It does feel very countrified though, compared to Woolwich. I was lying in bed last night thinking about how life has changed since we left London. I have also changed. Am less anxious generally. Pleased about that! Here is a list of things that are different.

• The kitchen has more than one square foot of work surface. We can cook actual meals.
• Seating 10 people round the dining table is achievable and cooking for them does not involve balancing roasting trays on top of dishes on the floor.
• The dining table is a permanent item and does not need to be dragged into the middle of the living room to extend a flap when there are more than three people trying to eat
• Guests sitting at the dining table do not have to sit on piles of cushions on the sofa a la booster seats
• We own two sledges and have enough storage that I do not see them, stub my toe on them and curse them every day
• We own two sledges!
• I am interested in what the weather is doing as this affects what I might want to do
• I have eaten a vegetable from my garden
• I have a garden!
• We went to Glastonbury and got home within 45 minutes
• We went to Glastonbury and left our two front sash windows open about a foot each
• We went to Glastonbury and left our two front sash windows open about a foot each, got home within 45 minutes and NOBODY HAD STOLEN ANYTHING!
• The neighbours know our names
• The neighbours smile at us
• The neighbours do not seem to be selling packets of anything to people who roll up in cars with blacked-out windows
• I see bf a lot more :o)

There are downsides, but there are definate upsides to being in the bath!

Take care chaps
