    Green acres is the place to be.
    So well, when you put it like that, I'd rather be where you are (at the moment), though ........

    Soon they'll probably be building a Hilton resort and Health Spa in your back yard, for a thousand Yuppies a month.
    Or littering your lovely green farm land with hundreds of huge wind turbines.
    Or building a solar array on the hill next door, or a coal mine down the road.
    And that mountain behind you, they've dug into it, down 7 levels, for storing nuclear waste deep underground.
    And those peculiar triangular shaped metal objects in your neighbour's fields, are where they are Fracking for gas. So when you turn on your kitchen taps don't put a lighter or match under them.
    So now your roads are crowded with trucks bringing in fresh water.
    And that plane overhead, is a crop duster, spraying Glyphosate everywhere, better go get a Cancer check-up next week.

    But don't worry, you are still not reduced to wearing face masks yet (when you go shopping), like your city cousins, and you'll probably still live 5 to 10 years longer than them.

    But be afraid ...... Be very afraid .......... Because they are coming ....... for you, and your ephemeral green open space.
    Enjoy it while you can.
