Hello @Exoplanet

Wow is my first reaction...

The panoramic view....

There are many triangle road signs still to magically metamorphose into more wonderful scenery

That sounds like a perfect place to be....safe...secure....well scrutinised as in rowdy drinkers being banned...

people around yet still having your own space....serene solitude..

Your questioning the reality....is that something that is a part of your past negative thinking pattern....I find that negative thoughts can pop into my mind from out of nowhere....then I step back ...look at it objectively and realise that is a remnant from the period in my life when another stripped every shred of self-esteem that I had....

It still happens ....nowhere near as often...I have the check in for negativity...then pull my mind away and tell myself I no longer need to feel that way....Nobody has the right to affect my self esteem..

If not the above...perhaps you have been yearning to get away for so long....worked so hard....now that it has finally happened...2 days is not long at all....gone before you know...

If this is the case....think about when you can go again before the silly season starts....before school holidays...

Well done for finding such a brilliant spot....
