Discover the pleasure of simple things.
To sit by the river and watch as people cross the stepping stones. To hear their laughter as some teeter and make the watery step into the river. It's the simple pleasures of reading a book, or having a long conversation over dinner. It's being in a place where the birds are worth watching and a walk to the pub for dinner or a nice beer is entertainment enough. (But yes, we also have fast internet if you get bored)
