Читать книгу How to Fall in Love... With Life - Cecelia Ahern, Cecelia Ahern - Страница 11

‘I was born in the city and always lived in towns or cities; I didn’t know any different, so I never realised it wasn’t the right environment for me to fall in love with life. One day a friend took me to the Yorkshire Dales and it was like a whole new world opening up. The skies are beautiful, the land is beautiful, you can see for miles, not just a small rectangle of sky between buildings and a ‘view’ over the park to the next block of houses and shops. I had no idea, just how wonderful it is to see and feel and smell fresh sights and sounds, space stretching out all around me. I fell in love and moved to the countryside, where I discovered new sights, sounds and smells and opened up all my senses to embrace every moment in life. The odd thing is that this is not the end of the story. After a while I returned to the city, saw it with new eyes, experienced it with renewed energy and now I love to travel and I love to immerse myself in the sights, sounds, foods and people and to find and appreciate the best in them all, wherever I may be.’
