This was one of the aspects that attracted me to this area in Cessnock twelve years ago, the lack of cars, the wide streets, and the ample pavements. I've noticed however in recent years that even the poor can 'afford' big flashy cars, and so the streets have generally become busier. But today, I noticed that one side was entirely devoid of cars. Everybody's back at 'work' (I use the term loosely) and so are their cars. And I thought: What joy it is to live outwith the sight and sound (and smell) of the gas chamber!
Oh, and to have a huge (cabbage) palm tree staring up at you as you look out... :)
