One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a
small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same
money one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own. Then
in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though
one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep
well at night, during weekends and summer evenings one can enjoy the fresh,
clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend his free time digging,
planting, watering and doing the other things that are needed in a garden. Then,
when the flowers and the vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has
shared the secrets of Nature.
