Whilst out and about yesterday I found the perfect spot to look down on our valley's main town of Stroud. Well known for it green credentials, the town is inhabited by many hippies and earth lovers, not all may I add, but they are well known as Stroudies.
You need to be fit to live or shop in town as it's built on a steep hillside, not my cup of tea in my old age so I prefer to use the out of town stores or travel to our county town of Gloucester.
So there you are, the heart of the valleys where I live, but you can keep your urban areas just give me the countryside. Thank you for comments on my rogue camera yesterday, it's now locked in a secure bag,
Nice shot of the home-land. Meadows and woodland man my-self so agree with comments about Stroud and and as far as I am concerned you can stick City`s where the monkey puts his nuts.
