City or Country Life?

  • 0:14 - 0:19
    I like being in the countryside but I’m always happy to come back to the city.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    How about you?
  • 0:21 - 0:25
    I actually really love the countryside, I grew up on a farm.
  • 0:25 - 0:29
    I love being in London, I have loved my time in London, but as
  • 0:29 - 0:34
    I’m getting older, I increasingly want to visit the countryside more and more.
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    It’s nice, it’s quiet, you can forget about the city.
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    I love it, I was brought up in the countryside.
  • 0:40 - 0:44
    I love being in the countryside, love the quiet, love the fresh air, it’s great.
  • 0:44 - 0:50
    I love being in the countryside, I come from Hertfordshire, so although it’s not where I live,
  • 0:50 - 0:55
    actually, directly in the countryside, if you drive ten minutes you’re in it, and it’s beautiful.
  • 0:55 - 1:03
    I love the countryside, it’s a nice change to living in London, and I enjoy taking weekends out, I enjoy camping.
  • 1:03 - 1:07
    I enjoy the countryside because I’ve lived there for about 37 years,
  • 1:07 - 1:15
    and particularly I enjoy gardening, growing a lot of vegetables.
  • 1:15 - 1:20
    The thing I enjoy most about being in the countryside is watching animals and birds.
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    How about you? Do you like wildlife?
  • 1:23 - 1:29
    Well I am an animal lover, I am a vegetarian as well.
  • 1:29 - 1:35
    I like wildlife and animals, since I was a little girl I’ve always really liked foxes for some reason
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    and I know a lot of people don’t but foxes have always been my favourite animal.
  • 1:39 - 1:46
    I love wildlife, I really sort of enjoy things that you don’t see every day.
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    I enjoy sort of very exotic wildlife that I haven’t seen before.
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    I like watching them on the telly.
  • 1:51 - 1:58
    I think animals are living beings and should be treated as so, should be treated with respect.
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    I like big cats they’re very graceful, they're very beautiful
  • 2:02 - 2:08
    and something I’ve always had a fascination with from an early age,
  • 2:08 - 2:12
    I also quite like large snakes, a friend of mine used to keep them.
  • 2:12 - 2:16
    My nephew and niece have a guinea pig which I love.
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    Are there any animals you are frightened of?
  • 2:19 - 2:27
    Snakes and scorpions, just because I know that usually one bite could mean that's the end.
  • 2:27 - 2:33
    I don’t like spiders, it’s not really an animal, but I hate spiders.
  • 2:33 - 2:36
    I am very scared of spiders,
  • 2:36 - 2:44
    and even though in Australia we get some very small but very dangerous spiders, I’m afraid of very big spiders.
  • 2:44 - 2:51
    I don’t particularly like horses because they’re big and they frighten our dog.
  • 2:51 - 2:54
    I’m not really frightened of any animals, I love them all.
  • 2:54 - 2:58
    There’s nothing that scares me, I haven’t got any memories of animals scaring me as a child
  • 2:58 - 3:01
    I’m quite scared of sharks, I don’t really like the sea,
  • 3:01 - 3:07
    and so whales and animals such as that, I don’t really like.
  • 3:07 -
    I suppose because it’s the unknown, I just find it quite scary.
