Welcome! I also used to teach English language and literature, but gave it up (I basically burnt out) to live in the middle of the countryside. The good news is that I brought my books with me, so have lots of time to read and reflect. I initially set myself a challenge to read a poem a day, but it´s turned into one a week.
I´m fascinated by the Renaissance poets and how much they can still teach us. Living surrounded by nature and animals, I feel very akin to them and consider myself very honoured to be reading their words hundreds of years later.
I look forward to hearing about your experiences and will follow you.
Thank you! I'm glad to meet another English teacher and someone who recognizes the special magic literature holds. A life reading in the countryside sounds lovely.
Follow returned!
