It was about three years ago today that I moved with my family to Rutland. It was the best move I have ever made. I really love the place as you might have noticed from the posts in this blog. I really do think it is one of the most beautiful places in England to live and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else by choice.
I was happy to get the family out of the city and into the countryside. Just a few months before we moved we were burgled. They took all our things of value, including a two cars one of which was new to us at least and was our pride and joy, while we were in the same house asleep. It left everyone being nervous about living in the house for weeks upon weeks, and we didn't even live in a high crime area.
This was one of many reasons why I was so happy to leave. Another was, as I have said before, that the country is a better place to bring up children. I was brought up in the countryside and I always wanted that for my children, away from all the problems that can occur within large area's of population. I remember loving the freedom to just roam and explore as I got older. I hope Emily and Catherine have that feeling now. I feel so safe here and that makes a big difference to life.
