Q. Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

I live on the outskirts of the small town of approximately 70,000 people. I live on a housing estate made up of privately-owned and socially rented homes as determined by the colour of your front door; white for private, black for socially rented. The view from my lounge window is superb-green fields, the hillside and trees. It can be very peaceful times, but because of the close proximity of fellow households it can also be noisy and modern built houses have thin walls. I live in a socially rented property and am reliant on Housing Benefit. I am very fortunate to have a garden both to the front and rear of the property so during the pandemic lockdowns I have had access to an open space where I can decompress.
