Are you still happy with where you live?

[soulstyledevon]

I was planning to go to Switzerland again this july. Probably won't be the case anymore.
Although it would be very calm with this conditions.
And I always like to go hiking where no one else is around, so I would be self isolate enough in Stechelberg, up to the Schmadribachfälle, or behind the Trümmelbachfall up to Wengen.
And the second week doing a couple of dams (Grande Dixance etc...).

It will be for another time I guess.

Us too...
We had another 3 week trip planned.
Really hoping things change between now and September...

Yes I love where we live. Western edge of the Lake District National Park. I particularly like my new home office and the fact I can go straight out the door running or cycling and two pubs.

Does not look like the Milky Way to me?

According to Wikipedia, I live in the Milky Way (melkwegstelsel).

And I sometimes eat one too:

Given the current circumstances, are you still happy with where you live?
As we all are more or less imprisoned, I kind of appreciate my town more and more.
Apart from the high house prices, difficult access in and out my town, especially in high season, I always like the fact that when I am leaving my town in high season on a sundaymorning to go inland for a nice bike ride, there is a massive traffic jam towards my town. I then have the road clear to go inland.
When I return in the late afternoon, the traffic jam is the other way round.

But now, as we can't go outside our town, I start to appreciate my town.
I have, all within walking and biking distance: a nice beach, dunes, a forest of 41 hectares, 1400 hectares of polders.
We also have some nice medieval farms, a few parks, paths, ...

I have been outside walking everyday now for 12 consecutive days (thanks to the weather), and now I am very happy where I live, and not in a big town, where you'd have to take your car to get to the otherside of it to have some fresh air and the possibility to have a walk or ride.

To cheer you guys up (or to make some of you jealous?) I have some photo's:

First day at home, time for a walk, no fog at all. Then you arrive at the beach:

Enough social distance?

We love where we live. Just a few minutes walk to the beach, numerous country parks, lots of coastal trails & green spaces. Good train & bus transport links. We can be over the border into North Wales in just over half an hour, into The Peak District in an hour & a half The Lakes & Yorkshire in two hours. Plus we get the most amazing sunsets

The Lake District is the best - lucky you.

I hope you have the permission of all the people on these pictures you've taken and post them on a public forum?

Because you really wouldn’t want to upset them now, would you?

You don’t need permission. They are in a public place

I love where I live. I'm glad I moved to the 'Worlds First Fairtrade Town' back in 2018.

We've got a fantastic little High Street, 3 small Supermarkets and some wonderful walks on our doorstep

Its been a bit quiet lately.

Absolutely fantastic. Great to see a sense of humor burning as bright as your neighbourhood. Looks very warm and comforting, you must be very happy there!?

We’re in Stockholm’s suburbs surrounded by woods and a nice sports arena where I take my son walking and exploring every day

There is a better place, but I'm not telling

 

[Vagophile]

For goodness sake!

Some countries have privacy laws.

And Hamlet's pies.

Absolutely.

They're still doing daily deliveries at the moment too. Which I think is amazing following what they've had to go through over the last week or so.

 

[TripleBee]

For goodness sake!

In case you didn't notice, there was some irony involved .

Hadn't noticed any postings from you for a long time, thought you had sold the Cali. Welcome back into action.
Best wishes from a fellow Herts owner who's still happy living in a little hamlet that nestles between the banks of the M25 and M1 after 43 years. Come on you Horns!
