...swings like a pendulum do...

these are a few of the things i enjoy here...
green, green, GREEN! the way the light plays hide and seek in the clouds with the hillside. learning new words like: keen, whinge, pudding (all desserts), cheers (goodbye and thank you), tea (meaning supper or just tea), proper, pinks, DIY, etc. the accent--even kids have it! the smiles on the people's faces after we serve them. friends from all over the world. scones. european chocolate. proper tea at any time. cobblestone streets only for walking. thousand-year-old buildings still inhabited! rambling through fields and forests on public footpaths.

a few that i struggle with...
plumbing. electricity (where is the light switch?). no personal space (thank God for walks!). traffic (which way do i look again?). missing those i love (that will never change!).
