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

I am a Reading girl making her home in beautiful Arborfield.

What makes me feel alive in my locale are the ancient oaks, the swishing of leaves, the dazzling bluebells, the rippling lake, the dappled shade, the rolling hills and secret coombes.

Home is a place of comfort. Where I can truly be me.

Spaces that spark joy are green space, protected trees, parks and paddling pools for children and adults of all ages.
