I’ll share with you some of the many reasons I love living here with my family. We’ll talk about landscape, weather, activities, the pace of life, and more. There’s more to the UK than London - a lot more! So join me for a quick chat about life here outside of the big cities. www.engvid.com/why-i-love-liv...

    UK fan from Japan here ✋What I like most about the UK is a view from train. Up hills, sheep’s grazing, the hedges all across. Wish I could travel up to Scotland someday.

    Weather talk is a kind of code that we have evolved to help us overcome social inhibitions and actually talk to one another; kind of an icebreaker. In some situations it's used to fill awkward silences, or divert the conversation away from uncomfortable topics.
    Great Britain- my heartbeat ❤
    Great teacher with a great accent And articulatory skills !
    Cheers Ben 😎

    You live in a wonderful place! Beautiful landscapes, green fields, open water. The confluence of those two rivers that you pointed out reminded me the place of my power - when the routine of everyday life presses on me with its unbearable greyness I get on the car and drive to the flood of a large river, I enjoy its beauty and power, it can caress us with its warm waters, feed us with its gifts, or maybe playfully like a cat with a helpless mouse turn us into a handful of sand at its bottom. This ever-moving force of water, at the same time beautiful and dangerous, feeds me with its energy and gives me the power to live and create!

    A bit further up is Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. An extremely beautiful area. The largest area of outstanding natural beauty in the country. The villages are picture postcard.

      @@engvidBenjamin I prefer the Cotswolds and they have not got in Devon the mass of beautiful villages that Gloucestershire has. Literally dozens of wonderful villages. People mention the Peak District but, then again, too dark, bleak and wild for me. Not lush and green. The best part of Devon is the coastal places in my opinion.

    What is the reason for so many stones on the grass?

    • @engvidBenjamin
      @engvidBenjamin  Před rokem +3

      Good question! That is a labyrinth. The stones are from a column that commemorated some people who died in a war, I believe, and legend has it that the column was struck by a bolt of lightning and the stones were dispersed in quite a wide radius. The local people helped to gather the stones near to where the column stood and instead made a labyrinth.
