English Countryside

I am still wide eyed about the English countryside. I just can't get enough of it. I think it had something to do with all the books I read when I was growing up. I had all these images of secret gardens and hidden forests. When I see the beauty of nature, I often wonder why some people are bad and angry with the world.
I always remind myself how lucky I am to be able to do what I am doing now. The air here is fresh and invigorating. The other good thing is the days are getting longer. There is now daylight when I leave for work. Although I still have to use my headlights, I turn them off soon after I arrive in Exeter. Also, when I leave my office, it is still light. I never really noticed these things before because I was too stressed to do so.
