10 minutes from home

Its strange to live in a city... um, ok town, for those of you who might get offended - the population of Durham is 43,000... maybe thats a village... anyway, the numbers aren't the point... What I was saying is that it is strange to live in a place where there's little to do for city-lovers. Durham has one cinema hall-plus-theatre. It has a decent number of restaurants and pubs, which is good but doesn't make up for the fact that there's little else, though I hear that many of the pubs hold quizzes in the evenings. Sounds strange but I'm willing to check this pub-quiz-culture out. And it has quite many shops: mostly clothing and stuff, I know one of them is a bookshop, about three small shops have fresh vegetables and fruits (which, by the way, close at 5:30 pm everyday and are closed on sundays) and one shop has lentils (the uncooked and uncanned ones, which are the kind I'm interested in). So I sometimes wonder how I landed up here. But there are days when I go for an evening walk, and then its quite heavenly. I never thought I'd be living 10 minutes from grassy fields with sheep grazing in them.
