"Oh, you're so lucky living in Bath. It's such a wonderful, lovely, historic place," people say
enthusiastically, and all you can think of is the awful parking ,the tourists crowding, the expensive shops, the
narrow-minded council, and the terrible traffic...
Luckily I don't live in Bath but nearly ten miles away in a village called Limpley Stoke in the Avon
Valley. It seems to be normal in the countryside these days for professional people who work in town to prefer
to live in the villages;this makes the housing so expensive that the villagers and agricultural workers have to
live in the cheaper accommodations in town, with the result that the farmers commute out to the farm and
everyone else commutes in. Certainly, there's nobody in the village who could be called an old-style villager.
The people nearest to me include a pilot, an accountant,a British Rail manager, a retired French teacher...
not a farm worker among them. But I don't think there is anything wrong with that--it's just that the nature of
villages is changing and there is still quite a strong sense of community here. A lot of this sense of community
comes from the Post Office,which is a center for all the gossip and information. I find out what is going on
while I am there, pretending to control my two-year-old son. He enjoys anything he can touch at the lowest
level of the shop, which consists mainly of an enormous rack of cards saying" Congratulations on your 9th
birthday" and a collecting tin for the "Save the Children" charity which he always picks up and tries to run
away with. My feeling is that if my son took the money collected for the children, it would go directly where it
was needed, but they don't see it like that.
Working at home, I tend to wander round the village at times when other people are at the office,which
has given me a reputation for being incredibly lazy or unbelievably rich, but I still don't get enough time to
look after the garden we bought. My wife had a good idea for the first year. "Let's just leave it and see what
comes up. "We did. There were some nice plants among the weeds. She had a good idea for the second year
as well. "Why don't we leave it and see if it all comes up again?"We did,and that is why we need to hire a
full-time gardener this year.
What is the author's attitude about Bath?

A.It is a wonderful place to live in.
B.It has far too many disadvantages.
C.He feels fortunate to live there.
D.The traffic there is terrific.
