I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I can especially relate to the last line of searching and buying lottery tickets! Just bought one today in fact. Keep searching, some ppl say you can run but can't hide and certainly there's the potential for chaos or violence anywhere there's ppl. However, I'm a believer and still continue to find my oasis somewhere on this planet that overlooks a beautiful serene part of nature. Good luck in your endeavors!

I know what you mean about wondering whether there is a quiet nice place out there though - sometimes it seems a case of 'the grass is always greener', but I love imagining somewhere lovely and peaceful. And then imagining leads to writing... :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-13054625102192003742009-07-28T21:32:24.336+01:002009-07-28T21:32:24.336+01:00Hi Martin - I know... but being a city dweller mea...Hi Martin - I know... but being a city dweller means that I am positive the right place for me is in the country. Surely there must be nicer places somewhere? All I hear in my head is the Pet Shop Boys singing 'go West!'. Cornwall would be nice, I think.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-62099499044337167002009-07-22T22:34:02.935+01:002009-07-22T22:34:02.935+01:00Oh, Jane.

I wish I ...I hate not feeling safe in my home too. I wish I could move far north, to where there are fields of expansive green, lush forests, no crime, and that quiet I remember from childhood. I moved out of my hometown for that reason, that it got that way, and it's here now too. It's sad. I find myself longing for a quieter time, and a quieter place, and I'm not even sure that if I did up and move again, I'd even find it.Shaylen Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139279228390853115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-33798143339045834472009-07-21T19:42:05.736+01:002009-07-21T19:42:05.736+01:00Good luck with your search, I fear you may need a ...Good luck with your search, I fear you may need a Tardis to achieve your goal as your requirements match exactly the sort of village that existed in the 1950s or possibly the 1930s.<br /><br />If you find such a place today it will be scorned as out of touch and dated. There will be no Broadband or even electricity unless it is conveyed on pylons across fields of pasture filled with chewing cows. There will be no post office and the annual bus service will have ceased to run years ago.<br /><br />Sometimes you really do feel so sad that England has become such a wretched place. In the last 100 years it has won two great wars and dismantled a massive empire in largely civilised manner yet look at it now. But you never know, around the next corner...music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-27205727205761931442009-07-21T16:46:34.666+01:002009-07-21T16:46:34.666+01:00and possibly writing a best selling series of not ...<i>and possibly writing a best selling series of not too high brow novels!!</i><br /><br />Hahahaha!

This cottage has roses round the door and a little front garden. <br /><br />It's also based in central London and only exists in my dreams.<br /><br />It's all about buying the lottery tickets- and possibly writing a best selling series of not too high brow novels!!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.com
