Newbury Tourist Information should be paying me to advertise the town!!! (They don't- and I have never asked.) Some images of Canal side. First time ever baby and I saw the lock in use and the swing gate! coooool!
If you are a single city girl reading this- read to the end! (Forget internet dating, follow my advice!!)
Father and son on a weekend walk in the town....
If you are a family and fed up of city life, I highly recommend moving out. When I think back to West London, the traffic, the aeroplanes every 3 minutes, the crowds, the junkies , drunks and unemployed immigrants in the park, the needles in the gutter, and the shootouts, (and we had a W post code!!!)
I'm glad we live here. The kids I knew couldn't ride their bikes around without Daddy as bodyguard, or play outdoors unless it was in their garden. They were indoor kids, computer and TV kids. Cooped up kids, stressed kids.
But we didn't move as a family....
If you are a single female, as I was, then move out of the city! I was turning 40, bought a house in Thatcham, (for the same as I would have paid for a bedsit in Acton) moved out of London, and 5 months later met my husband to be! We got engaged, discovered I was pregnant and brought the wedding forward. Just before turning 42 I gave birth to my gorgeous boy. We now live quietly, in harmony, in the country.
Baby and I watch the birds in our garden, and listen to them, did you know that birds sing in unison an hour before dusk? It is a real choir practice! We hear them on our way home after an afternoon stroll through town, to feed the swans and ducks on the canal.
