A Walk Through the Past: One Man's Journey Back to His Roots
Every year, James likes to look back on his life and think about the choices he has made.
He decided to look into moving back to the small village where he grew up, so he began to look for a house near the old river.
Before visiting, he asked a friend to look over some property details and look through the local listings carefully.
On the drive there, a road sign told him to look out for deer crossing, and he also had to look up the correct route on his phone.
As he arrived, he felt excited to look ahead to a quieter life, and he realised he had always looked down on busy city living without truly understanding what he was looking forward to leaving behind.
