Farewell the big smoke

Twice I have lived in London, twice I have departed. I wonder if I'll live their a third time? It has to be said on this second occasion London has worked out pretty well for me. Not fantastically, but well enough, and I feel that life has been going pretty favourably. As a result I'm not leaving the city on bad terms this time, yet I do wonder whether I would live there in the future, as although opportunities are great and pay is high, I never feel quite at home there. Whether this will be any different elsewhere I really have no idea, but I suspect I will always be more at home with the culture and pace of life in the North of the country as opposed to that in the South. Somewhere that's bit smaller too, within easier reach of proper countryside might help satisfying my rural hankering after a bit of countryside.

For now however travel is afoot and with it cities and countryside the like of which I've never seen before.
