The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different. If I hadn't been born and raised in the country, I would have never been able to tell the difference. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country I could only eat things at certain times of the year. For example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter lived my childhood with the seasons.

Also, we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food 1 am taking now in the city. City people think that people in the country miss a lot of good things about modem life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them. They miss a real life.
