Marking Time - Part 3 - Country Town

Living in a country town

I enjoy living where I do because it isn't as busy, it's more local and there is a lot more wildlife and nature and grass here. But living in a city or larger town would be beneficial because you wouldn't have to drive everywhere, access to public transport (trams in Melbourne), lots of shopping, better facilities, different culture and restaurants, more to do such as ice-skating, movies, shopping in malls, eating, museums, performances and other events you wouldn't find in smaller towns like Ararat.

Festival

I would organise a festival for 'fun'. What makes people happy? Things like colours, balloons, flowers, lollies and chocolate, fruit, rides, roller coasters, animals, teddy bears and a nice sunny day.
If I was to help start a new festival it would be one of your basic festivals with fairy-floss and show bags. It would be a bigger and better version than the Ararat show and more like the Melbourne show. There would be rides and people could eat sugar, it would be set in mid-spring and the atmosphere would be happy. You would probably walk in and there would be balloons floating above heads and flowers everywhere, it would be warm and sunny and colourful. I think warmer weather brings out the happiness in people.
