Hilly Land and Her New Home

The new land though hilly and mountainous, had its own charms. Lying on the outskirts of the town it was literally a hill which her father had purchased at a throw a way price. A farmer, with green fingers he started terrace cultivation. It was an innovation which was much appreciated. And he tapped the best of harvest from it. He loved trees. He bought sapplings from fruit tree farms and planted them. Mango Trees were his favourites. Even though she missed her childhood home here was a new kind of terrain rather a wild one. It was the little streams and the high mountains that fascinated her. They lived "far away from the madding crowd". They had no neighbours, wherever she looked there was only green undulating land. She felt like Cowper's solitary sailor, the the monarch of all she surveyed .This love for land and trees remained with her long after she left her home.
