The thing I liked most when I was small was 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!

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.
