Bendigo
October 29th, 2008 at 7:46 am (General, Home)
We have finally got the internet on here in our country home. We have settled in and are loving the country life. Everything is peaceful; the forest out the back is a never-ending source of delight. Just watching the trees is entertainment in itself – the changes of light and shade on the foliage and trunks of the gums is beautiful.
Life is slower here, people don’t walk so fast as in the city, no rushing hither and thither. When we see more than four cars at an intersection we think it’s a traffic jam! People smile and say “g’day” and most of the staff in cafés and shops are friendly and helpful.
I am enjoying retirement. I go for walks in the forest or around the town taking photographs. I also do the housework and cook dinner for MrsHoot who’s at work Monday – Friday. And now that I have the internet back, I can really get stuck into my ornithological studies.
We love Bendigo!
