I will miss the morning walks
but not the flies at lunchtime

I will miss the isolation
but not being a recluse

I will miss the bio-organics
but not driving Kms to get them

I will miss the rolling pastures
but not the intensive farming

I will miss the scent of blossom
but not the stench of piggeries

I will miss the hens going to their coop
but not our own self imposed curfews

I will miss the lack cars on the road
but not of stern faced Gallic drivers

I will miss the country
but not for    L       O        N          G
