What was that?

From "Random Kiwi Thoughts"..

I'm really getting a kick from being here. I'll never move back to England, but I sure do miss the old ways sometimes..

Perhaps I was too hasty - maybe never is too strong a word. I'm having a great time here after work. I just walked the 3 miles back from the office to the hotel - think dark crisp winter evening - and it was wonderful. I don't think I could walk 3 miles in any direction in Atlanta (if you haven't been; they tend not to have sidewalks in USA).

Small (narrow) streets, old churches, pretty houses, seeing Hillman Hunters, Morris Minors, Austin 1100's - even a mint Standard Vanguard today. The hotel is over the road from a huge park with rugby fields on it, so I sat on a bench and watched rugby practice too.

Good for the soul.
