At age eight, I have memorized this address from reading it from the back of care packages, greeting cards, and letters sent through the years. This served as our home away from home. Apart from the house, I will surely miss a lot of things in this neighborhood: The cold weather that drops til 8 degrees; the nice people that call you "love"; the wide selection of grocery items; the abundance of chocolates; ice cream that don't melt easily; the picturesque town and their shops; the swanky old pubs; the good customer service; clean and traffic-free roads; beautiful flowers growing randomly at every park; their delicious tap water; the cirrus clouds that turn pink in the dusk; and I could go on.
I can see now why this place was voted as the "Happiest place to live in Great Britain" and I am glad that during our stay in the UK, we get to call it home.
