I live in a lovely valley, formed by a small stream over many centuries. It is not a broad valley; it's quite a narrow valley. It is not a 'glen' because it's not big and deep. It's not a flat-bottomed valley; there's not a lot of level land. There is not enough room for a lot of houses. The houses are scattered. Sheep, and other animals, and primroses like the steep slopes. In winter the sun can disappear before sunset. We have sunshine in the morning but our neighbours (and sheep) have sunshine in the afternoon.
