Almost every village has a church, the round or square tower of which can be seen from many miles around. Surrounding the church is the churchyard, where people are buried. The village green is a wide stretch og grass, and houses or cottages are built round it. Country life is now fairly comfortable and many villages have water brought through pipes into each house.

Now in the city, you can buy flowers summer in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain time of the year, for example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons. We also made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city.
