I think I'm coming to yet another realisation about myself. Much as I love the countryside, open spaces, peace and quiet, hills and rivers and lakes and views, fresh air etc, there's actually more of a (small) city girl in me than I ever realised. I miss so many things that come hand in hand with a 'proper' city: art, culture, history, variety of shops, bustle, vibrancy and a whole glut of other things that I just can't quite put my finger on. Wellington's pretty good, but it still doesn't quite hack it by my standards for some reason. There's still a small town, small world feel to it for me that I'm not sure I could ever fully express in words.
There's certainly not a city or anything that fully satisfies me within relatively easy reach of my current location. I'm guess I'm not cut out to be a fullblown country bumpkin just yet.
