This is kind of what you’d expect to find in a small commuter
village. Large houses that are sheltered away from the main road by a hedgerow
to give a sense of privacy and quiet, yet still cheap enough to be built in a
batch while having a busy road in earshot. The nearby brook often absorbs some
of the sound but it’s not enough to hear just the brook itself. Its only access
point is a bridge, but people have attempted to create their own to save time. Sports
cars are parked in odd places on narrow roads to allow second cars off the
drive to commute. Old features like willow trees have been preserved, but traffic
has caused more damage to the foliage than the local council can spare to
renew, so it just gets felled for the sake of safety. Then there’s people’s own
attempts to tame nature, whether it’s to let it wither or demolish it completely
in favour of something more manageable.
