The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring,
summer, autumn and winter - I could see them all come and go and each one was
completely different. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the
same vegetables all the year round! Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at
certain times of the year - for example strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived
my childhood with the seasons.
Also we 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. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of things about modern life,
but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them - they miss real life.
