Newbury ....through my eyes!

Newbury-Through my  eyes!

A small English town ….in the south western part of England…where peace and tranquillity have made their own abode. Life walks at a much indolent pace unlike a big city.

Typically, English weather prevails here with cloud and rain playing hide and seek…the summers are good with a few hot days to bring some joys in the lives of the dwellers.

Had read about those ale houses and those pristine swans which had been inspiration to many writers and poets….as they were the angels on earth…. so have fed those angels with some bread…have been to the ale houses where the  old lonely English man was in no hurry to gulp his beer…as he had ample of lazy hours to himself…have seen those boats in the canal where a few of the families or couples have made their safe haven, sailing here and there and just taking themselves out on rare occasions…..the strangest people yet happy people who live in water,….sail across….and make merry at night…awake in the morning….and another place…. another…destination!!

The stony pavements…..the small shops selling those hot pastries and cakes smells invigorating….inviting you inside to have a munch…the farmers market selling all those fresh things and the artifacts….the street musicians impeccably playing their tunes and I bet they have all the perfection…everybody so cheerful, so happy….moving in their own pace….the bells toll every day at the same time to complement the surroundings and life goes on….well, not to despise the old fisherman who sits and keeps his fishing rod hooked only to be greeted by some big catch someday…it's his hope which keeps him going, ....Newbury is a place like this… I had always read in my books… I had always fantasized  about…the small trivialities of the beautiful town attracts many peace loving people to stay here and relish some solitary hours amidst the woods and nature far away from the maddening crowd!
