Carlisle, Happiest City in Britain
at
2:39 pm
My Dad (@wartsandhall) sent me this email:
Subject: Making Better Places. Wellbeing. Some clues here..?
I like the following quote, and also note the size of Carlisle at 70,000.
Quote:
"The presence of wildness on the doorstep, and the resultant sense of a connection with the natural world, was one.
Even on a grey Friday in February, the big Cumbrian skies are a powerful presence.
This is a city you can always see the edges of.
One lifelong resident I spoke to, Liz Robson, a retired machinist and nursery nurse, put this well: whenever she returned from the night glare of Manchester, she says, "I know I am home because here all the lights are out."
