No where.
When asked where I live this is what I say. Want to know why?
Because I that is where I do live. When giving directions to get to my house most of the things I say consist of either down this track or along this small road that looks like a track or past the big Oak tree on the left standing next to the Ash. Turn right when you get to the tractor in the ditch.
I’m not saying there is anything wrong with wading through flood water and ankle deep mud to get to the bus stop a mile down the road…
Of course there is an easy way of avoiding the mud and water and that is getting a vehicle that either floats or is more that 3 feet off the ground. Many of the locals have taken this into consideration and now use tractors and 4x4s. (You can often tell who these people are; have a look in a car-park when you next go shopping, you see the muddiest car? I would bet money that the person who owns it also owns a cloth cap and a sheep-dog)
The great thing about my area is the weather. It is very predictable. If it is cloudy then it is raining, if it is clear then it will soon be raining and if you’ve ever seen the sun then clearly you are foreign.
OK, so maybe some of the things about where I live aren’t quite as good as other places; but really, how many people can say to their teachers ‘Sorry I’m late - we got stuck behind a tractor’.
It was funny too.
