I used to be a city slicker but I know live in a little town in Oxfordshire and I love it, I wouldn’t change it for the world.

So true, but a lot of people can take for granted. I do enjoy city breaks though..

Somewhere in between please. I like the greenery and quiet but I also enjoy having things to do and being able to see people. Suburbanite?

Oh I'm a city girl. The countryside makes me uneasy- I like streetlights and pavements and well-marked roads. I like the anonymity of a city and the fact there is so much going on all the time.

Well I'm sure no one does, quite a few answers are mixed. I myself wouldn't pick one or the other, but definitely lean more to country bumpkin.

I've been both.

A decade in the big smoke, then suburbia, then home counties.

Now in the middle of fucking nowhere.

Can't beat the countryside.

Lived in London for the first thirty years of my life. Still ridiculously excited by the sight of a wild rabbit and thrilled by the bats and birds of prey I see. I never want to live anywhere too urban again, I want to have as much wildlife around me as possible. It's incredibly good for me.

I would be a city slicker I suppose, but I'll head into the country at every opportunity. I would much prefer to live in the country but still close enough to the city to be able to get to the bigger shops, restaurants and bars without too much fuss. The views in the country and the lack of traffic and slightly slower pace of life would suit me better

There's a big protected wooded area behind where I live, there's a huge rookery, lots of bats, a resident pair of what I think are sparrowhawks but might be red kites and I hear the owls calling at night and if I'm very lucky I'll see one flying silently above the trees. It doesn't get any less exciting, I'll never take it for granted.

Country Bumpkin through and through. We have owls roosting in the trees in in our garden, see buzzards, red kites and other raptors above our cottage. Give me countryside and solitude everyday of the week.

Red kites are considerably bigger than sparrowhawks (nearly twice the size) and have a very distinctive forked tail. Often seen gliding in wide sweeping circles. Sparrowhawks are much more secretive birds that hunt in woods and hedgerows and like cover. More likely to be spotted sat still on a post/fence/roof or chasing a small bird at high speed.

I am something of a social chameleon and can blend in most places should the need arise. Although I'm a country boy at heart.

I've tried to identify the cry they make and I think they probably are kites. I see them gliding round on thermal currents. The rooks make a hell of a fuss and fly up to mob them sometimes.

Dubai & Nottingham

We like both , have lived in cities like London, Sydney, Dubai and find it stressful and then in very remote rural and coastal areas & feel too cut off. Currently live in the UK on the greenbelt 20mins walk into town and an hour from the peaks so it’s perfect. Just miss being by the sea especially in winter
