There’s a Sherlock Holmes quote in The Copper Beeches, “They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”
Watch the movie “Hot Fuzz”.......Maybe my favorite movie of all time, now.
Watch the movie “Hot Fuzz”
I live in the ‘quiet countryside. One of my former students, who lived across the road from me was blinded in one eye when her boyfriend broke a bottle and stabbed her in the eye with it. He was later found dead. No one seems to know who done it.
And there are other horror stories not all that far from me.
