A beautiful sunset from my backyard — Nikky May

I wrote about my escape from the city to the country about 8 months ago called ‘Edges of the Map’. At the time, I thought I had finally figured out the kind of life I wanted, actually I was sure I had. Well, how things have changed! After becoming a hermit for just over a year, I am ready to get back into society. I need to get back into the world.

I know many love to live in rural areas. It’s peaceful, nothing much happens, and you are isolated. Well, it’s not for me. Although I do not regret the move, and I strongly believe it has been good for me, I need activity, I need people around me, and I need Kmart, dammit!
