trails in Epping Forest!

i went to Epping Forest in zone 6 today! ooh! zone 6 is really nice! haha! the food's cheap too! had a full English breakfast and toffee apple crumble with hot custard on top of it for like about 5 pounds! then went on to walk the trails in Epping Forest! it's exactly what i think an English forest would look like! like the way the trees stand around in a ring around a clearing of copper brown leaves, the rabbits with the whites in their tails bobbing up and down as they scramble into hiding at any approaching sound, the squirrels bounding around the forest, stopping here and there with their ears perked up for any passerby.. there were houses lining the fringe of the forest and i must say these are exactly the houses i expected English houses to be like before I came to london, but was disappointed time and time again to see the drab and dreary buildings in central london. these houses in zone 6 had the cute little porches with the cute little porch lights, beautiful windows with glazed windows, slated roofs and everything you'd look for in an English house! and just a few steps away, you can take in the entire breathtaking view of Epping Forest where flowers dot the lush green landscape! i should work towards owning a house like that! and get mom and dad over for their retirement! i'm sure they'll love the place! zone 6 sounds scary and completely out of the way once you're so used to walking from point A to point B in Central London and can't think of living anywhere except in central london, but once you actually try travelling from zone 6 to central london, it feels just like travelling from Sembawang to City Hall! that's how close it is! 25 mins tube ride away! for a better quality of life! at least i know it will be for me! :) ahh...
