Childhood in the wildlife
What you shared with me the day before yesterday was amazing. ‘We often lived on military bases in the fields, far from human populations and amongst the wildlife.’ After reading it. I couldn't help but think of Doris Lessing because she spent her childhood in the wildlife in Africa, though the wildlife in Egypt must have been very different. It seems to me more like a film, rather than real life, to have lived on military bases in the fields. I am pleased to know that you liked the experience, even if there were probably not many companions to play with—perhaps your best friends were animals who had their nicknames given by you, or maybe books, like Lessing? Her childhood was lonely for the nearest neighbours were miles away.

(1) wildlife refers to animals, not a place or region so it doesn't work here.

Childhood in the Wildlife
What you shared with me the other day about living on military bases in the fields, far from human populations and among the wildlife, was amazing. After reading it, I couldn't help but think of Doris Lessing. Spending her childhood in the wilds in Africa would have been different from the wilds in Egypt, To me, living in these places seems more like a film, rather than real life. I am pleased to know that you enjoyed your experience, even though you lacked companions to play with. Perhaps your best friends were the animals you nicknamed, or characters such as those in Lessing's book? Her childhood was also lonely, for her nearest neighbors were miles away.
