Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if we all lived where we worked. In the old days people worked in a job that was based on a skill, craft or trade of some kind, usually tied in some way to a premises or workshop with specialised machinery or something like that. And at the end of the day you went out back or upstairs to make some dinner or relax for the rest of the day with your family.
In those days we had no office buildings, no factories, no commuting or apartment blocks.
It's interesting to me to imagine a world where communities are smaller, closer and simpler. Without the trappings of so-called modern life, the trappings of so-called progress.
