Last week I made the mistake of visiting the village where I grew up. It was a small, friendly community with two farms and a

number of old cottages round the village green. I realized very quickly that although in many ways it appears unchanged, in reality

hardly anything is the same. All the pretty cottages are there, of course, and both the picturesque farmhouses. But none of the

inhabitants are country people. All of them are commuters, who leave early every morning for the nearby town. Neither of the

farmhouses is attached to a farm these days; the land has been sold and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has

little interest in the village itself There are a few new houses, but they have no local character; you can see the same style anywhere in

the country. The whole of the village, in fact, has been tidied up so much that it has become nothing more than just another suburb.
