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

I am (Feeling) old (er), still alive (but not fit) still (enjoying being) alive free (from work) (too) busy involved/overwhelmed valued curious creative

What makes me feel alive in my local area is sunshine, fresh (mostly) air, birdsong, space trees/plants/grass/water, sky.

Home, to me means comfort, my own space, seclusion and companionship, inside and outside, time for me/us

My thoughts for the future of Wokingham borough:

Optimistic - friends, cultural activities, less traffic, more equal, ethnically more varied

Cynical – noise, more building, dormitory, anonymous, selfish

Discovering Wokingham – people, places, no more commuting! Time for my many interests
