As you can see from the photo we live directly over a gorgeous park. It’s full of winding paths, a ping pong table, a playground, benches and places for barbecues. Not only that, it’s safe to sit in at night!

It’s a real privilege to live here, and one of the main reasons we don’t move to a bigger place.

BTW, you can click here for a much larger version of the photo.
