I chose to live rural. It is part of me that needs to be easily accessible to space, freedom, clean ( er) air and even silence. But green countryside “ does it” for me.
Now before you start- I know we have farm perfume and mucky muddy roads- certainly in Devon- but there is a kind of peace you might not find in an urban area. Maybe I’ m exaggerating. Bear with me, though.
Traffic is louder and more frequent in urban areas and, yes everyone notices it - even in the road systems of rural Devon or North York Moors ( sorry if I didn’t mention your heavenly place).
However, there is a kind of compromise you have to accept. In my neck of the woods we get only one bus A WEEK.
Some places do not get any public transport. I agree, the cutting down or railways in the 1960,s left us a poor heritage. I live two miles from a main line going east/west. If there was a station ( where It used to be) I’d be able to sell both cars.
Devon has a strong cycling tradition and clubs prefer rural, as do those in the city, I expect.
The aspect that gives me most pleasure is that I can go out into our village and walk in any direction to meet open countryside. I do aim to enjoy it before someone puts another housing development on it. There’s another issue, I know.
The city or urban might provide more anonymity, perhaps? CD members will no doubt leap to defend “ their patch” and rightly so- an English Lady’s/ woman’s home is her palace- oo a clever twist on an old theme, Anya.
Shopping can be a major journey, where you pack the car with sleeping bags and a tent in order to make the “ two day route”. Is this still true in the outback of Australia or prairies in USA? I don’t know! Hence the question.
Yet for all the “ wishes and wants”, I still prefer my rural environment.
And I expect you love yours too- urban or rural. After all, there is no place like home….. if you have one!!!
And there’s the challenge. I’ll leave that thought with you… as we approach the seasons of good will. Bless your homes or your place of habitation or, indeed, your tent. May you find peace in its place.
Gratefully,
Anya
Hi Anya
We migrated from the big city to the far West. and while I sometimes miss being able to hop onto a bus and hit the city centre within 20 minutes, I wouldn't go back.

Hi Anya,
I loved being by the sea in Nort Cornwall for 15 years - a static caravan on a friendly locally owned site. So did everyone else of course in peak tourist season (that's when we let friends / other family use the van 😉
Now I've moved to beautiful, rural Wales, I've swapped the sea for 'mountains' , but it's just right for me - oh, and everyone else in the tourist season. I obviously have a thing for tourists!

Growing up in the Methodist Church our youth group visited Cornwall. Flew to Heathrow then got the train from Paddington. We where based in a village called Mevagissey. One of the most loveliest places I’ve visited
You are in a lovely land of Song!!!

I live in the outback Australia. I'm 120km from the nearest major shopping precinct. 30km away from the nearest general store to get a bottle of milk. (That milk is nearly 3 times dearer then the major shopping precinct.)
Its 6 hours to get to Sydney. (Without breaks. ) I'm only on a small farm. 100 plus acres. Big ones around here are 90'000 acres or more. My imediate neighbor has 6000 acres.
I'll dress on the farm. Though high heels and skimpy clothes are not practical. Have hunted many times enfemme. My ammo pouch is a handbag.
Mevagissey Maackerell. Great food in Cornwall.

best anywhere.
anya🦈
- one of my friends on the caravan site enjoyed his little boat and usually came back with mackerel enough in season to go round. He'd clean them up for me, and they were eaten within a few hours - as fresh as could be. Yummy

Hi Anya.... Nice post.
I actually lived in " Meva " for a while.... absolutely swamped with Emmet's in the summer....but beautifully " local " in the winter .....grace x
Hi Mary.
You said.... "My ammo pouch is a handbag".... I love this... lol!
Many years ago we moved to what we considered "country" with pastures and cows outside a fair sized American city, but now the city has engulfed us with subdivisions all around. The cows have turned into cars and the pastures are now rows of checkerboard housing. The worst thing about this is the increase in taxes, traffic, and all the damn constant noise!
