First Impresstion Of Long Sutton

A Memory of Long Sutton.

I first came to Long Sutton after my husband was given the job of being the local'bobby'We came to live in the local police station, which was an office room in the house. My first impresstion of Long Sutton was how slow the pace of life was after comming from a large city of Birmingham where the pace of life was fast and hectic. I soon got to know the local people and found them friendly and helpful along with the local charictors of the village. Live has now moved on and the village town has grown much bigger,since my husband and collegue retired the police station office has closed down and moved to a larger town.
I am still living in Long Sutton and the pace of life now moves a little faster but only a little. I feel also now that i am not the outsider i once was and with working with the local people have become one of them, only when my Brummy accsent comes out that i give myself away.
