My paradise, my home, my soul and me... I miss.

.... a few hours spent just in the countryside enjoying each others company or with friends does help.....

That's so true for me also.
In many ways we are very lucky living here in our small village. We may be far from the madding crowd, but we are just a few minutes walk from fantastic beauty spots, country walks and cycle tracks, and designated areas of Areas of Special Scientific Interest where you can choose serious twitching or just feeding the Swans and ducks etc.
It might not sound exciting but it soothes the soul.
This is the place of my childhood.
