The (In)Significance of Railways
Donna: well the house that we previously lived in was only a two bedroomed house and we had two small children at the time, a boy and a girl so it was a bit cramped we actually, well my parents knew the people who lived in this house prior to us and we were searching for somewhere to move to and they just happened to say you know, come and have a look at the house and we fell in love with it straight away and that’s when we put an offer in and the rest is history
Jenna: so can I ask sort of what were the reasons to move, for more space or?
Donna: it was it was space, there’s a lot more land, there’s a lot more space in the house as well, and even though with the train line it is actually a peaceful area
