One day I want to escape

Deleted User

I want to believe there are still places in the world that haven't been ruined or filled with teeming housing projects, urban blight and endless stretches of tarmac and grey.  I hope to be able to go live in one of these places in the future and find some sort of peace.  Either as part of a small community or with significant others who feel as I do.  As such I developed an interest in sustainability and self sufficiency.  Though it sounds naive, I like urban life a little less each time I'm exposed to it.

  • Much as I would love to escape permanently to the countryside (and, once upon a time, seriously considered a cottage on Skye – what a mistake that would have been given their current tourist problems), I need the convenience of city living, specifically proximity to a good hospital, easy access to a GP who can usually see me within 48 hours, and (not so easy) access to an NHS dentist. I also appreciate access to a decent university library and the convenience of full-fibre broadband. So, for me, rural life remains a pleasant dream.
