I AM A JUDGEMENTAL REDHEAD

This is an anonymous story collected from the public as part of THE WOKINGHAM ARC PROJECT.

I am a judgemental redhead. Too flighty, too fiery, too temperamental. Wokingham people always seem calm and confident. Sometimes I wonder where “my people” are, and how I can find them.

What makes me feel alive in my local area is the bustling market, with independent traders. The pubs! But then the countryside just a stroll away.

Home is a place where your quirks are celebrated. Wokingham is friendly – with a group or society for every interest or hobby you could possibly have. Working people love to come together – pubs, restaurants, clubs…

I don’t want Wokingham to grow any bigger. As a teenager I rebelled against Wokingham because I felt it was small and too interested in my life.When I became a mother, I moved my children and I back here – all the “faults” had become benefits.
