Fewer trees mean better view of sky

Barrington has too many trees in the countryside and in the village.

I am a sky person. The long, high stretch and space of sky is free, uplifting, and hopeful.

Trees and shrubbery shut people in. It is really restrictive! In the country, woods are thick, high fences. In the village, the quantity of houses and big trees shut off any horizon and also the sky.

The first floor casement windows, no sky! The second floor casement windows only one, the bathroom and look up and to the right.

The countryside is stuck, but the village should plant fewer trees and shorter, smaller trees. Plant and clip smaller hedges and bushes near the house. Make it possible to breathe and expand.

We need fewer trees. Don't plant big trees! I am hemmed in at other places too.
