I haven't been out today so it has to be one of my views from around the valleys. This was taken from the edge of the Cotswolds Hills looking south. The largest valley opens up wide as it meets the River Severn and my first ever home in Gloucestershire was in the town on the left.
Since I've lived in the area this small town has grown with many factories being built nearby. In fact that has caused even more housing and more industries added. When I moved here in the early 50's you knew everyone in town from the Bank Manager to the local policeman. Today it has grown so large that everyone is a stranger.
I'm so glad that I live in a small village now, that If you blow your nose everyone knows, so to speak. Thank you for all your comments and FAV's on my missing squirrel, it's nuts are safe for another day.
I love an English countryside - opps, I'm stealing lines from "I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains" by Dorothea Mackeller :) I do love your countryside - so different to ours!!
Such a lovely scene and personal story. I like the small towns too...makes the community so much closer and you don't just feel like a number. I am watching all the housing burst forth around me and farmer's fields turn into subdivisions and it is killing me.
You can see forever...
And ever...
