Yes there are loads of positives. Love the lack of planes it makes such a difference especially at this time of year. There is much less background noise too from distant main roads etc. Residential streets are quiet and traffic free. Lived here for 6 years but the past few weeks, I have discovered loads of new ginnels/snickets, paths, patches of woodland that I never knew existed through having time to explore. My runs take me to open countryside within 7-8 mins and I have time to give my garden some TLC, it is large with lots of trees so needs much maintenance.
Neighbours are more friendly, there is a community spirit almost like we are a small village rather than a sprawling Leeds suburb. People giving away things for free that they would normally sell, games and challenges are set up by people to do in the street etc.
