Mine is a small woodland about 10 miles from my home that has a quiet stream, big old trees, warm sunshine, birds singing, smelly fungi and nice smelling flowers, light rain, butterflies and no people

Your last two words suggest why no one is going to answer this - "Call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye ... " as the Eagles sang!

That is the problem - many of us have beautiful, wildlife-rich places but how long can they survive while human populations increase ... or they grow more and more animals for food?

Mine is anywhere when I am out in the country side and I hear no cars only birds, the wind and some water running or lapping. When I can lay in the grass and watch the clouds blow over. Its wonderful, to be able to escape for a short while, feel inner peace. Millions must have done in the past - I hope others can do it in the future.

When I was young it used to be anywhere where I could see the stars and dream about other worlds. Now it's anywhere that I can find the incredible nature in our world. I'm fascinated by the detail and complexity of nature, with its incredible colours, textures, behaviours and designs. The more I find out about nature, the more I realise how little I know and how much more there is to see in the world.

Enough problems worrying about one world without getting into billions of them! I did the same thing though ...

What I'd want would be a small rocky beach with a river debouching and woods behind .... and no people! It's the latter that's the problem really I know a few places like this except for the tourists .... ho hum, mustn't be greedy.


PS: and perhaps a limestone valley coming down through the woods.....
and ....

I have a place in South Devon that no-one knows about. I have an oak tree, a little stream and all the wild life I can see ie, foxes, rabbits, squirels and buzzards. I go there all year round just to off load it's a great place and best of all it is my secret and it's un touched and un touristed (I know not a word but you know what I mean) Fi. X X X X
