Silence?
By Value hunter on Oct 15, 2009 | In Wondering
Having a new baby in the family as we do, I am spending more time out on the front doorstep having a smoke.
Whilst out there, I see (albeit briefly), and notice things I never spotted before.
Tonight, I noticed the silence!
I live just 5 minutes walking distance from a by-pass, the constant sound of traffic can be heard at all hours, but tonight... nothing but silence.
A calm, damp, evening, very mild, neighbours all tucked up in their homes, all the estate's barking dogs in their beds, birds asleep for the night, etc.
I cannot remember the last time I heard nothing, for five blissful minutes, nothing but piece and quiet.
You try it, stand outside your house for five minutes at night and listen, I would wager good money you would not be stood in silence!
