I live and work in the city, but I like to get away on weekends, It's possible. My parents have a small house in the countryside about thirty kilometers to the east and It's a great place to go if you want some peace and quiet. In the summer, you can just sit by the lake during the day, then in the evening go for a stroll through the town or over the fields. Sometimes , we go out for little whole day and have a picnic somewhere by the river or next to one of the many corn fields.
