Now YOU are a city girl. Kansas City is a fun town but it aint no Paris that's for sure. Also, this is what the rest of my home state (Missouri) mostly looks like outside of Kansas City. Nice! I'd feel much more comfortable somewhere like that than the hustle and bustle of a city. Too noisy and busy for me, I think.

You're all making me want to post nice pictures of Reading now. Perhaps I might later

Well Maria, it does. They're one of the oldest of the professional teams. Formed in 1872, they played in the very first FA Cup. When they still made biscuits in Reading, their nickname was the Biscuitmen. I wish it still was their nickname for the men's team anyway. The women's team play in the top flight in England, the men's team in the second.

It’s so fun to see where we lives and how it is different. The web is really a fantastic invention.

I'd feel much more comfortable somewhere like that than the hustle and bustle of a city. Too noisy and busy for me, I think. I've pretty much done it all and I have enjoyed the best of what each style has to offer. I grew up in the suburbs of a mid-size city. I lived in the third biggest city in the US (Chicago) for five years in the city proper and loved it, I have lived in a small farm town in a very rural area (for four years just after Chicago) and loved it, and now I live in California and also love it. They all have perks and negatives. My wife did not like the small farm town though.

I had no idea Reading was such a large town, W-M. I really only knew about Reading FC (who I believe currently play in the Championship). Thank you for enlightening me. What part of the island is Reading in?

The women's team is in the top flight in England too. The men's team had a good start to season, but trailed off and so missed the play-offs.
It's in the south of England, 40 miles due of west from the centre of London, and and at a guess about 50 miles north of the south coast.
Those photos are the more picturesque part of town of course. I live quite close to the River Thames, just over 5 mins walk away. Lot's of high tech companies have a significant presence in and around the area. Though it's a busy urban town, there's lot of green spaces about. The countryside is very close-by, and there's quick access to London too. The direct train to London only takes about 35 mins station to station.

I actually think that type of photo might be a big step for me. So far I've been mostly covered up in mine. Given the pace I've been going I may decide to want one like that quite soon. Like tomorrow soon.
