Deer, swooping kestrels, sweeping hillsides, farms and drystone walls.

I think people are very brave to go somewhere different when they return. shows they aren't frightened of change at all and it was the country as a whole they didn't like.
Sort of puts a stop to the cry of 'you didn't try hard enough to adapt' don't you think

I used to live in Denholme. Our house looked out towards Thornton, lovely waking up to that view every morning. The only downside to living there was that it was a tiny back to back with only one room downstairs, one bedroom and the bathroom on the next floor, and an attic bedroom.
