Sotterly, Raveningham, Redisham…the number of tranquil country estates here continues to amaze me, simply the number of them and the absence of people, visitors or walkers.
This is great for me as I get them to myself and have a nice stroll or cup of tea interrupted by dogs, people, humanity basically. But what is everyone doing? Whistling about in their car, rushing to their next assignment, mission critical on the roads…
Then being found at fault for doing what they have to – destroying the planet, spending money, eating, drinking, existence. Is it living? It must be…living is now in car parks and lots, quiet moments for a snack or some downtime with the phone or radio.
Back to the house or flat to the family and/or friends. Who are you living with? What is the status of the relationship? Please be sure to advertise it – we want and need to know absolutely everything about you, it’s for the best, we promise. We’d never do anything untoward with your details. We’re all trustworthy, just like you, we’ve just got more money and don’t feel so tired all the time. You’d feel better if you had a better attitude – you’re an enabler that’s your problem. Did you ever think of that? We thought not. That will be fifteen pounds please, no we don’t mind waiting (briefly) while you borrow the money.
Happy Christmas – you deserve a break. Don’t be late (again) when you come back to work.
