So half term has swung around again in the busy school term and as always I go and stay with my grandparents in the Cotswolds. Now people may think that as I go and stay with my grandparents every holiday and enjoy it, I may be a little weird and not a 'normal' teenager. However, I love it!
I feel (yes, feelings!) that not only the countryside offers a little break from my mundane routine of school and homework, but also a new breathe of life (cheesy, I know). You feel automatically refreshed and ready ( but not looking forward) for your life where there are traffic lights around every corner, which I don't enjoy being a learner driver.
After living in quite a busy town near London, I have found myself craving for a country life where you see horses in fields everyday. My dream is to earn a lot of money, retire to the countryside at about 30 and buy a horse. I'd love to wake up every morning and just see fields of grass with no annoying people insight. Be able to shout with out people staring at you everyday.
I also believe in the country way of living, something I feel everyone has forgotten in the last few decades as we (as a population) only see the town way of life. The country way, I feel, is much simpler and more make do and mend. And by this, I do not mean that we haven't got any Internet or mobile phones because we do and are still connected to the world like everyone else.
Finally, I believe in the work of farmers and how they provide all our food and how we should be more grateful for the work they do to keep us fed as a nation.
I hope I haven't gone off on too much of a tangent but more of these rants to come!!
Much love,
Harriet
